Dignity and Importance

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland in 1773 (August 18):
The carriages in common use are small carts, drawn each by one little horse; and a man seems to derive some degree of dignity and importance from the reputation of possessing a two-horse cart.
