In Egypt, the cats...afford evidence that animal nature is not altogether intractable, but that when well-treated they are good at remembering kindness.

More quotes by Claudius Aelianus
When Diogenes came to Olympia and perceived some Rhodian youths dressed with great splendor and magnificence, he said with a smile of contempt, This is all arrogance. Afterwards some Lacedemonians came in his way, as mean and as sordid in their attire as the dress of the others was rich. This, said he, is also arrogance.
Claudius Aelianus
