"I am looking for an honest man...." - Quote by Diogenes

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

“Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. Envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. It is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives.”

“The chief good is the suspension of the judgment [especially negative judgement], which tranquillity of mind follows like its shadow.”

“The gentleman is a man of truth.”

“A prince is also respected when he is a true friend and a true enemy; that is, when he declares himself on the side of one prince against another without any reservation.”

“Painful as the task is to describe the dark side of our affairs, it sometimes becomes a matter of indispensable necessity.”

“One must keep one's character. Earn a character first if you can, and if you can't, then assume one.”

“A man should practice what he preaches, but a man should also preach what he practices.”

“A man should be what he seems.”
