“The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for
supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived
comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, ‘If you would
learn to be
subservient to the king, you would not have to live on
lentils.’
Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils, and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’ ” – from “The Song of the Bird” by Anthony de Mello
