Apophthegms
by Antisthenes
O Plato, I can see a horse but I do not see
horseness.
I would rather be mad than feel pleasure.
Virtue is a matter of action.
Virtue is sufficient in itself to secure
happiness.
The wise man is self-sufficient.
The wise man does not follow established laws
but only the law of virtue.
It is better to side a handful of good men in
their struggle against an army of bad men than to
side an army of bad men in their battle against a
handful of good men.
