你看看老毛那張延安演講的照片，衣服上多少個補丁？但誰能跟老毛相比？中國的軍閥地主、牛鬼蛇神們就是穿金戴銀，在老毛面前也只能戰戰兢兢。而紅軍戰士們，無論男女，聽穿着補丁衣服的毛澤東用湖南話朗誦自己的詩作”江山如此多嬌“，那是何等的歷史魅力。

尼克松去會見穿着普通的毛澤東，感覺就像握住了聖人的手。

羅馬帝國最後一名優秀的皇帝JULIAN可以說是一位天才，他既是一位戰將又是一位哲學家，日理萬機，能夠同時一邊寫、一邊聽、一邊講述三件完全不同的事務。歷史是如此記載這位傑出人物的衣着的：【 But with the fopperies Julian affected to renounce the decencies of dress; and seemed to value himself for his neglect of the laws of cleanliness. In a satirical performance, which was designed for the public eye, the emperor descants with pleasure, and even with pride, on the length of his nails and the inky blackness of his hands; protests that although the greatest part of his body was covered with hair, the use of the razor was confined to his head alone...】

JULIAN在對波斯的戰爭中不幸重傷，臨死前，他對周圍痛哭的將領們說道：【Friends and fellow-soldiers, the seasonable period of my departure is now arrived, and I discharge, with the cheerfulness of a ready debtor, the demands of nature...I die without remorse, as I have lived without guilt. I am pleased to reflect on the innocence of my private life... Detesting the corrupt and destructive maxims of despotism, I have considered the happiness of the people as the end of government...I shall cautiously refrain from any word that may tend to influence your suffrages in the election of an emperor. .. I shall only, as a good citizen, express my hopes that the Romans may be blessed with the government of a virtuous sovereign.】

可見，無論中外，英雄人物不在乎穿着，只有庸碌之輩需要衣裝。
