Quote by Samuel Johnson
Sir, a man who cannot get to heaven in a green coat, will not find his way thither the sooner in a gray one.
Summary
This quote suggests that external appearances or material possessions do not determine a person's ability to achieve salvation or a higher spiritual state. It implies that changing one's outward appearance, such as from a green coat to a gray one, will not have any impact on one's journey to heaven. The quote emphasizes the idea that genuine inner transformation and character development are more important than superficial changes.
