Quote by Charles Dickens

Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that.

Summary

This quote suggests that a person's attitude and demeanor are not particularly praiseworthy or admirable if they are solely dependent on external factors like being well dressed. It implies that true character should be determined by how one behaves and carries oneself regardless of their appearance or circumstances. Merely being in a positive mood because of one's outfit does not demonstrate genuine inner strength or resilience. The quote encourages a focus on intrinsic qualities rather than placing excessive importance on superficial aspects such as clothing.

Commonly, people believe that defeat is characterized by a general bustle and a feverish rush. Bustle and rush are the signs of victory, not of defeat. Victory is a thing of action. It is a house in the act of being built. Every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. But defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. And above all of futility.
