Asked which of the philosophers was most to his taste, he said: I admire them all; Socrates I revere, Diogenes I admire, Aristippus I love.’

v.3.p.12

He lived to nearly a hundred, free from disease and pain, burdening no man, asking no mans favour, serving his friends, and having no enemies. Not Athens only, but all Greece was so in love with him that as he passed the great would give him place and there would be a general hush. Towards the end of his long life he would go uninvited into the first house that offered, and there get his dinner and his bed, the household regarding it as the visit of some heavenly being which brought them a blessing. When they saw him go by, the baker-wives would contend for the honour of supplying him, and a happy woman was the actual donor. Children too used to call him father, and bring him offerings of fruit.
