Not just someone, the legendary philosopher Diogenes. One of my favorites stories is that one day he was cleaning veggies in a river or something, when Plato walked up and was like “You know Diogenes, if only you could pay taxes to the king you wouldn’t have to wash vegetables.” And Diogenes responds, “You know Plato, if only you could wash vegetables you wouldn’t have to pay taxes to the king.”

Some good diogenes sayings:
(To Alexander the great) “All that I need is for you to move (to stop blocking the sun)”
“If I were to be anyone, I would be diogenes”
Don’t forget he was totally fine with just being chucked in a field and eaten after his passing.
