“When Alexander the Great called on Diogenes, he found the famous Greek philosopher impoverished and sitting in the sunlight. “Is there anything I can do for you?”
Alexander asked. “Yes,” replied Diogenes, “you can stand out of my sun.”
What is most important might not be far from us, but close to us.
