Epictetus, Golden Sayings 128


What, did Diogenes love no man, he that was so gentle, so true a friend to men as cheerfully to endure such bodily hardships for the common weal of all mankind? 

But how loved he them? As behoved a minister of the Supreme God, alike caring for men and subject unto God.
