A Roman senator at Athens once presented his son, who had great beauty of a soft womanish type. My son salutes you, sir,’ he said. To which Demonax answered, A pretty lad, worthy of his father, and extremely like his mother.’

A cynic who emphasized his principles by wearing a bears skin he insisted on addressing not by his name of Honoratus, but as Bruin.
