This applies to all. No one capitalizes on the efforts of others and no one performs excessive manual labor for minimum wage. Everyone is the same.

- 24774: Pythagoras
- Pythagoras Pythagoras (fl. 530 BCE) must have been one of the world's greatest men, but he wrote nothing, and it is hard to say how much of the doctrine we know as Pythagorean is due to the founder of the society and how much is later development ... we hear of many struggles. Pythagoras himself had to flee from Kroton to Metapontion, where he died. It is stated that he was a disciple of Anaximander, his astronomy was the natural development of Anaximander's.

The great problem at this date was the duplication of the square, a problem which gave ... things we knew when the soul was out of the body and could perceive reality directly. There is more difficulty about the cosmology of Pythagoras. Hardly any school ever professed such reverence for its founder's authority as the Pythagoreans. 'The Master said so' was their watchword.

- 24776: Dr. Faustus
- By: Mark Daugherty In Dr. Faustus, Christopher Marlowe uses the resolution of the conflict between Dr. Faustus and the beliefs of his time to explore the idea of man’s place in the universe.

- 24780: Hamlet - Act 1 Summary
- ... for a reason that only the gods know. My fathers' spirit says that he killed my father and that my mother was a sort of accomplice. This REALLY ticks me off! My own mother won't even explain why she married so fast, only that my father is dead and I should get over it. I am starting to hate the whole world.
