“[May I recount] what Diogenes did with the man who declared that Athens was an expensive city. He took him in hand and led him off to a perfume-seller, and asked how much a half pint of myrrh cost. 'A mina',* replied the seller, and Diogenes cried out, 'The city is indeed expensive!' And then he led the man off to a butcher's shop and asked the price of a choice cut of meat. 'Three drachmas', replied the butcher, and Diogenes said, 'The city is indeed expensive!' Next, to a seller of fine wools, where he asked the price of a full fleece; 'a mina' was the reply, and he cried again, 'The city is indeed expensive!' 'Here now', he said, and took the man to a lupin-seller and asked, 'How much for a quart?' 'A copper',* was the reply, and Diogenes cried, 'How cheap the city is!' So the fact of the matter is that the city is not cheap or expensive in itself, but expensive if one lives expensively, and cheap if one lives cheaply.” —Diogenes the Cynic: Sayings and Anecdotes, with Other Popular Moralists by Robin Hard, §24b.

“Diogenes said that other people lived to eat, but he ate to live.” —Diogenes the Cynic: Sayings and Anecdotes, with Other Popular Moralists by Robin Hard, §25.

“People pray to the gods for good health, and yet most of them consistently act in such a way as to damage their health.” —Diogenes of Sinope (404 – 323 BC) 📚︎

“As long as Man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.” —Pythagoras (570 – 496 BC)
