Diogenes for the Day, 7/11/2018


Alexander once came and stood opposite him and said, "I am Alexander, the Great King." "And I," he said, "am Diogenes the Cynic." 

Being asked what he had done to be called a hound, he said, "I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals."
