He has the most who is most content with the least. I live in a barrel. I have a cloak, a staff, a cup. I threw away the cup when I saw a boy drinking from his cupped hands. I had one unnecessary possession more than necessary. The boy, without knowing it, was a philosopher.
— Diogenes Laërtius, Lives VI.37 — the story of the cup
Ancient Greece
