In
those old Greeks, and in us also, all strength and virtue come from
God. But if men grow proud and self-willed, and misuse God's fair
gifts, He lets them go their own ways, and fall pitifully, that the
glory may be His alone. God help us all, and give us wisdom, and
courage to do noble deeds! but God keep pride from us when we have
done them, lest we fall, and come to shame!

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.
