To be honest Diogenes is a bad example of humility or the lack of vanity because he had no self-respect or dignity. Soloman found this out and had it recorded in the OT
"I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind." - Ecclesiastes 1:14
It should be noted that Soloman later betrayed this sentiment and went out to marry hordes of women, however God did give him wisdom beyond any other man of life.
This principle, while rarely followed by few, least before Christ, was spoken heavily in the Bible, it continuously speaks about this subject.
"For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?" - 1 Corinthians 4:7
In this manner I say Diogenes wasn't a genius nor a great man, he merely discovered one singular truth and became obsessed in following it. Whether he did all that is said of him, all the things claimed make him a fool in his own mind. This is what I'd say is the flaw of philosophy, taking itself more seriously then its worth paying.
