“I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.”
Bible
“The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The hand is not so well adorned by ornaments as by charitable offerings; one does not become clean by smearing sandalwood paste upon the body as by taking a bath; one does not become so much satisfied by dinner as by having respect shown to him; and salvation is not attained by self-adornment as by cultivation of spiritual knowledge.”
Chanakya
“Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.”
“Gladstone was what you'd call an ornamental rector. Some were neither use nor ornament. He was at least ornamental.”
Donald Wintersgill
“Moral excellence is an ornament for personal beauty; righteous conduct, for high birth; success for learning; and proper spending for wealth.”
“The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace”
John Owen
