to pass for a saint or a philosopher on the strength of a button in his hat, or a buckle in his shoes, is not very likely to be either; as the button in the hat or the buckle in the shoes will answer all the same purpose with the vulgar, and save time and trouble. Those who make their dress a principal part of themselves, will, in general, become of no more value than their dress.
from Daily Times: Purple Patch: Truth about education --G K Chesterton
