It’s better to have one good pair of shoes than a half dozen cheap ones, because the cheap ones look cheap even when they’re new, but the good ones look good even when they’re old. Quality by definition is the best you can get for your money. If you buy a pair of shoes for $500 and they last you 10 years, that’s $50 per year. If you buy a pair for $100 and they last you six months, which was the more expensive? I think the Old Money WASP guys were just cheap, so they always bought the best.

Bon concept repris d’une vieille citation d’Oscar Wilde:
"I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best."
Mais bon aujourd’hui, les gens sont plus "courtermistes" qu’autre chose, malheureusement…
C’est juste, sauf qu’il faut avoir au moins deux paires de chaussures, et ne jamais porter la même paire deux jours de suite, afin de les faire durer des années.
C’est vrai. Votre remarque est fort juste.
