“Three are the classes of men who attend the Olympic Games. There are the lovers of honour who come to compete, the lovers of gain who come to buy and sell, and the lovers of wisdom who come simply to look upon the spectacle. Every man claims that his is the best way of life, but only the lover of wisdom is to be believed, because only he has experienced every kind of pleasure. And while a moneylender may someday turn out to be a lover of wisdom, it never happens that a lover of wisdom sets up stall as a moneylender.”
