Pythagoras used to say life resembled the
Olympic Games; a few men strain their muscles to carry off a prize; others
bring trinkets to sell to the crowd for a profit; and some there are who
seek no further advantage than to look at the show and see how and why
everything is done. They are spectators of other men's lives in order to
better judge and manage their own.
