 <blockquote>Such being [Basil's] mind, and such his life, he had no need of an altar and of vainglory, nor of such a public announcement as "**Crates sets Crates the Theban** free." For his aim was ever to be, not to seem, most excellent. Nor did he dwell in a tub, and in the midst of the market-place, and so by luxuriating in publicity turn his poverty into riches: but was poor and unkempt, yet without ostentation: and taking cheerfully the casting overboard of all that he ever had, sailed lightly across the sea of life.
