"[[Gaius Musonius Rufus]] said that “**one ought to use clothing and shoes in exactly the same way as armor, that is for the protection of the body and not for display**. Therefore just as the most powerful weapons and those best calculated to protect the bearer are the best, and not those which attract the eye by their sheen, so likewise the garment or shoe which is most useful for the body is best, and not one which causes the foolish to turn and stare.” --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[frugality]] **Source** -- [[202409150124 - B - Discipline is Destiny]]
