" He went once into a school, and saw many statues of the Muses, but very few pupils, and said, " Gods, and all my good schoolmasters, you have plenty of pupils. " He was in the habit of doing everything in public, whether in respect of Venus or Ceres ; and he used to put his conclusions in this way to people : '' If there is nothing absurd in dining, then it is not absurd to dine in the market-place. But it is not absurd to dine, therefore it is not absurd to dine in the market-place. " And as... he was continually doing manual work in public, he said one day, " Would that by rubbing my belly I could get rid of hunger. " Other sayings also are attributed to him, which it would take a long time to enumerate, there is such a multiplicity of them.
He used to say, that there were two kinds of exercise : that, namely, of the mind and that of the body ; and that the latter of these created in the mind such quick and agile phantasies at the time of its performance, as very much facili- tated the practice of virtue ; but that one was imperfect without the other, since the health and vigour necessary for the practice of what is good, depend equally on both mind and body.
