I feel like jeans and a T-shirt have become Establishment. Everyone’s dressed down. So actually putting on a jacket is the anti-­Establishment stance.

An idea that is confident always looks masculine.

Anyone who is confident in themselves is much more stylish.

Every man should own a navy cashmere jacket with gold buttons, a grey suit, black shoes shoes for the city, brown shoes for elsewhere. Everything else should be simple and really well made.

The most uninteresting thing for me is when somebody thinks too much about how they put themselves together.

If you’re constantly open to inspiration, it will come to you. The worst thing a man can do is pressure himself into an idea.

I don’t understand why everybody thinks that dressing casually is so much more comfortable. I’m as comfortable in a suit as I am in anything else.

It is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am.

Men shouldn’t try too hard, or think about what they wear too much. I like when there’s something about a look that throws it off a little – perfection is really imperfect.

If you saw me every day, you would actually think I am wearing the exact same gray suit.

I was asked to design the tuxedo for Mr. Peanut. They're rebranding him. That was probably the most interesting request. I didn't spend a long time considering it.

Respect both what you need to know and what you don't need to know. Respect mystery, for mystery is still needed to run the universe.

For in the sorrow, there is also our happiness.

Woman you’re as mean as a copperhead. Come here let’s find out if you’re as cold-blooded.

Would you love a man of a broken shell after the passing of a women's soul?

Much learning does not teach sense.

Whatever else the Book of Mormon makes clear, it makes clear that every soul in every dispensation is precious to God, and therefore no age or era was-or is-left without its witness of Christ.

I try to write in the first person - the first person not of a journalist but of a carnivore, an eater, a gardener, someone trying to figure out what to feed his family.

Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.

Fortune is the best school of courage when she is fraught with anger, in the same way as winds and tempests are the school of the sailorboy.

Clearly, love is love, between a man and a woman, a woman and a man, a woman and a woman and a man and a man.
