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.

2.35 Being asked how he had fostered his great repute, he said, By showing contempt for death. Cf. 216 C (18), infra.

2.36 When someone desired to know why Spartans do battle amidst the sound of fifes, he said, So that, as all keep step to the music, the cowardly and the brave may be plainly seen. Cf. Thucydides, v. 70; Xenophon, Constitution of Sparta, 13. 8; Lucian, On Dancing, 10; Cicero, Tusculan Disputations, ii. 16 (37); Valerius Maximus, ii. 6. 2.

2.37 When someone dwelt upon the great good fortune of the king of Persia, who was a very young man, Agesilaus said, But even Priam at that time of life had not met with misfortune. Cf. Moralia, 113 E.
