Stobaeus

"Spare your life, lest you consume it with sorrow and care."

"The life of the avaricious resembles a funeral banquet. For though it has all things requisite to a feast, yet no one present rejoices."

"Diogenes, on being sold as a slave at Corinth, was asked by the auctioneer what he could do. "Rule men," he replied. "Do you suppose," asked the other, "that people want to buy masters?"

"Pythagoras being asked how a man ought to conduct himself towards his country, when it had acted iniquitously with respect to him, replied, as to a mother."

"The things which philosophy attempts to teach by reasoning, poverty forces us to practice."

"Expel by reasoning the unrestrained grief of a torpid soul."

"To the wise man every land is eligible as a place of residence; for the whole world is the country of the worthy soul."

"When the wise man opens his mouth, the beauties of his soul present themselves to the view, like the statues in a temple."
