August 29th, 2006 | Published in Life, Marketing and Advertising, Quotes
A man is a fool if he looks only at the saddle and bridle and not at the horse itself when he is going to buy one; he is a greater fool if he values a man by his clothing and condition.
—Seneca (ca. 4 BC–AD 65), “Slaves” in The Art of the Personal Essay by Phillip Lopate (1994), p. 14
