Diogenes

I am looking for a man.

I have nothing, therefore I have everything.

Why do you praise honest men, and yet do not use them?

Man is the most intelligent of animals – and the most foolish.

I poop and pee and eat and drink, and I do not care what others think.

If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.

Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards.

Of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anyone's feelings?

I am a citizen of the world.

The most beautiful thing in the world is freedom of speech.

I have gained a kingdom without even having to ask for it.

I have been shipwrecked, and have lost everything, and am therefore a happy man.

The greatest blessing of mankind is the freedom of mind.

I am still looking for a man, not just a featherless biped.

Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad.

The only way to overcome fear is to do what you fear.

I have come to a city where the men are ruled by women, and the women by children.

It is by the training of the body that the soul is purified.

Blushing is the color of virtue.

To the question, 'Whence are you?' he replied, 'I am a citizen of the world.'
