About This Quote

This is a good saying on the subject of dignity. It’s not every day that men and women get to dress up like men and women of nobility, but they still get to do so. When they do get the chance, it is an opportunity that should be taken. Perhaps they were born into this life and found themselves in the life of nobility.

Perhaps they made it into this life and wanted to live like a nobleman. Perhaps they got it on their own merits and chose to wear the clothes and live like a nobleman. Whatever the case, they have earned their clothes and should wear them with pride.
