Diogenes Cynicus proici se iussit i

Diogenes Cynicus proici se iussit inhumatum. Amici philosophi illum rogaverunt, an bestias feras non timeret. Quibus Diogenes: "bacillum prope me ponetis, ut bestias abigere possim". Tum amici: "Quomodo bestias abigere poteris? nihil enim senties". "Quid igitur - inquit philosophus - mihi oberunt nihil sentienti?"
Aliquando Diogenem interrogavit vir quidam, quomodo posset punire virum malum, inimicum suum. "Inimicus tuus graviter punietur, - inquit Diogenes - si te ipsum probum et honestum virum praestiteris".

Diogenes the Cynic, he ordered himself to be cast forth unburied. A philosophic friend, asked him whether he was not afraid of the beasts of the wild. To whom Diogenes: "Bacillus were near me, will you make, so that I may be able to drive away the beasts." Then, his friends said, "How is it you will be able to drive away the beasts? For there is nothing you will find it". "What, then, - he says, the Philosopher - sense that I have nothing to forfeit to me?"
At times, Diogenes, he asked the city a certain man, how could a man to punish evil, enemy, will he. "An enemy will be punished severely, - Diogenes replied: - If you were an honest and decent to be a crisis".
