Diogenes for the Day, 8/10/2018

He was the first, say some, to fold his cloak because he was obliged to sleep in it as well, and he carried a wallet to hold his food, and he used any place for any purpose, for breakfasting, sleeping, or conversing. 

And then he would say, pointing to the portico of Zeus and the Hall of Processions, that the Athenians had provided him with places to live in.

He had written to someone to try and procure a cottage for him. When this man was a long time about it, he took for his abode a tub in the center of the city, as he himself explains in his letters. 

And in summer he used to roll in it over hot sand, while in winter he used to embrace statues covered with snow, using every means of inuring himself to hardship.
