Diogenes for the Day, 7/9/2018


He was returning from Olympia, and when somebody inquired whether there was a great crowd, "Yes," he said, "a great crowd, but few who could be called men." 

Libertines he compared to fig trees growing upon a cliff, whose fruit is not enjoyed by any man, but is eaten by ravens and vultures.
