Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who achieve greatness often prioritize their actions and accomplishments over their appearance. Great men, in this context, are not overly concerned with meticulous attention to fashion or grooming. Their success is derived from their actions, abilities, and character rather than their outward image. Consequently, they may disregard societal norms of dressing impeccably, focusing instead on their goals and ambitions. This quote implies that greatness is not defined by appearances, but rather by one's abilities and achievements.
