Summary

This quote suggests that when we consciously choose to ignore or neglect our responsibilities that are based on well-established truths, it will inevitably diminish our ability to think clearly and see things in a rational way. By intentionally rejecting our obligations that are rooted in what is already known, we risk clouding our judgment and hindering our mental clarity. It serves as a warning about the consequences of disregarding our duties and the potential impact it can have on our perception and thinking abilities.

There are some promotions in life, which, independent of the more substantial rewards they offer, acquire peculiar value and dignity from the coats and waistcoats connected with them. A field-marshal has his uniform; a bishop his silk apron; a counsellor his silk gown; a beadle his cocked hat. Strip the bishop of his apron, or the beadle of his hat and lace; what are they? Men. Mere men. Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.
