Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one other reason for dressing well, namely that dogs respect it, and will not attack you in good clothes.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that dressing well serves the purpose of gaining respect and safety from dogs. It implies that dogs recognize and appreciate good clothing and are less likely to display aggression towards a well-dressed individual. While the statement is lighthearted and not to be taken literally, it highlights the notion of how appearances can influence others' perceptions and behaviors.
