2.27 Seeing in Asia a house roofed with square beams, he asked the owner if timber in that country grew square. And when the man said, No, but round, he said, Well, then, if they were square, would you finish them round? Cf. Moralia, 227 C, infra, and Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xii. (47 C).

2.28 Being asked once how far the bounds of Sparta extended, he said, with a flourish of his spear, As far as this can reach. Cf. Moralia, 190 E (3), supra, and 217 E (7), 218 F (2), 229 C (6), infra, and 267 C.

2.29 When someone else wished to know why Sparta was without walls, he pointed to the citizens in full armour and said, These are the Spartans’ walls. Cf. Moralia, 217 E, infra (Antalcidas); Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xix. (52 B); Plato, Laws, 778 D; Epictetus, in Stobaeus, Florilegium, v. iii.; Demosthenes, Oration xviii. (De corona), 299 (325); Claudius Claudianus, (viii.), Panegyr. de quarto consulatu Honorii, 508. Cf. also Moralia, 228 E (28) infra.

2.30 When another person put the same question, he said, Cities ought not to be fortified with stones and timbers, but with the strong virtues of their inhabitants. See note d on previous page.

2.31 He advised his friends to endeavour to be rich, not in money, but in bravery and virtue.

2.32 Whenever he wished a task to be quickly performed by his soldiers, he himself took hold first in the sight of all. Cf. Xenophon, Agesilaus, 5. 3. Plutarch tells the same sort of thing about C. Marius in his Life, chap. vii. (409 B).

2.33 He found more cause for pride in his working quite as hard as anybody, and in his mastery over himself, rather than in his being king. Cf. Moralia, 198 E (8), supra.

2.34 When he saw a lame Spartan going forth to war and asking where he could get a horse, Agesilaus said, Don’t you realize that war has need, not of those who run away, but of those who stand their ground? Cf. 217 C, 234 E, infra: Valerius Maximus, iii. 7, ext. 8.
