    One of Diogene’s best known quotes is “in a rich man’s house there is no place to spit, but his face”

    He was a homeless man who shit in people’s lawns lol. I know a couple stories, he’s a huge troll.

    Plato was teaching a class, where they defined human as “hairless and bi-pedal”. So Diogenes plucked a chicken a brought it to class and said “Behold!! A man!”.

    Diogenes was washing some vegetables in a river (naked of course) and Plato approached him and said “Diogenes, if only you could pay taxes to the king, you wouldn’t have to wash your food in a river.” And Diogenes replied “Plato, if only you could wash food in a river, you wouldn’t have to pay taxes to the king.”

    Diogenes was sun bathing on a beach (naked) when Alexander the Great approached him. Being a fan he told Diogenes (who was still laying naked in the sand) that he wanted to give Diogenes a gift. Anything within Alexander’s power to give, just ask. So Diogenes asked “Could you take a few steps to the side? You’re blocking the sun.”

    I have no sources just things I’ve heard lol

      Toddlers asking questions is indistinguishable from greek or roman philosophers. Sometimes I wonder how these people made it into history, luck?
