Unfortunately it's fictional, and sometime I think Terry Pratchett uses
too broad a brush to paint the details, but...
"His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the
Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his
famous phrase, "You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw
him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.""
(Dydactylos, the philosopher, via Terry Pratchett, Small Gods)
