====== Diogenes of Sinope | Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae Book IV.158.f ======


<blockquote>And Socrates used to say that he differed from all other men in that they live to eat whereas he ate to live. **Diogenes**, too, answered those who chided him for rubbing himself down: 'Would that I were able, by rubbing my belly as well, to quell its hunger and want!'
