The mob is the mother of tyrants.

People who talk well but do nothing are like musical intruments; the sound is all they have to offer.

I like best the wine drunk at the cost of others.

I am Diogenes the Dog. I nuzzle the kind, bark at the greedy and bite scoundrels.

Chilo advised, "not to speak evil of the dead."

I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

I am called a dog because I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals.
