"When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man."
"Most men are within a finger's breadth of being mad."
"The foundation of every state is the education of its youth."
"The mob is the mother of tyrants"
"I am called a dog because I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals"
"Calumny is only the noise of madmen."
--Diogenes of Sinope (the Cynic), 412-323 BC

produce works of art as men do, they would paint their gods and give
them bodies in form like their own, horses like horses, cattle like
cattle."
