When one of his friends said: Demonax, lets go to the Aesculapium and pray for my son,” he replied: You must think Aesculapius very deaf, that he cant hear our prayers from where we are!”

On seeing two philosophers very ignorantly debating a given subject, one asking silly questions and the other giving answers that were not at all to the point, he said: ‘“Doesnt it seem to you, friends, that one of these fellows is milking a he-goat and the other is holding a sieve for him!”
