"Blushing is the color of virtue...." - Quote by Diogenes

“Man is the most intelligent of the animals - and the most silly.”

“Aristotle dines when it seems good to King Philip, but Diogenes when he himself pleases.”

“Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards.”

“Great is the issue at stake, greater than appears, whether a man is to be good or bad. And what will any one be profited if, under the influence of money or power, he neglect justice and virtue?”

“One good deed dying tongueless Slaughters a thousand waiting upon that. Our praises are our wages.”

“If a sound body and a sound mind, which is as much as to say health and virtue, are to be preferred before all other considerations, ought not men, in choosing a business either for themselves or children, to refuse such as are unwholesome for the body, and such as make a man too dependent, too much obliged to please others, and too much subjected to their humors in order to be recommended and get a livelihood?”

“Human Beings are the only animals that blush, or need to.”

“O Grub Street! how do I bemoan thee, whose graceless children scorn to own thee! . Yet thou hast greater cause to be ashamed of them, than they of thee.”

“Ridicule dishonors a man more than dishonor does.”
