2.18 The mode of living which he followed personally was in no wise better than that of his associates. He refrained always from overeating and from heavy drinking. Sleep he treated, not as a master, but as governed at all times by what he had to do; and such was his attitude towards heat and cold that he alone was able to make good use of the different seasons; and in his tent, which was in the midst of his soldiers, he had no better bed than anybody else. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Agesilaus, chap. xiv. (603); Xenophon, Agesilaus, 5. 2-3, and 9. 5; Cornelius Nepos, xvii., Agesilaus, 5. 2.

2.19 He was continually saying that the commander ought rightly to be superior to the privates not in soft living and luxury, but in endurance and courage. Cf. Xenophon, Agesilaus, 5. 2.

2.20 At any rate, when someone inquired what advantage the laws of Lycurgus had brought to Sparta, he said, Contempt for pleasures.

2.21 In answer to the man who expressed surprise at the plainness of the clothes and the fare both of himself and of the other Spartans, he said, From this mode of life, my friend, we reap a harvest of liberty.

2.22 When someone else urged him to relax, and said that, because of the uncertainty of fortune, the opportunity for this might never come to him, he replied, I accustom myself by training to seek to find a change in no change.

2.23 Even when he had grown old, he followed the same course; and in answer to someone who asked him the reason why, at his age, he went about with no undergarment in such very cold weather, he said, So that the young men may imitate, having the oldest men and the officials as an example. Cf. Aelian, Varia Historia, vii. 13.
