The Heroes, or, Greek Fairy Tales for My Children Quotes

“And from the souls of clay I turn away, and they are blest, but not by me.  They fatten at ease, like sheep in the pasture, and eat what they did not sow, like oxen in the stall.  They grow and spread, like the gourd along the ground; but, like the gourd, they give no shade to the traveller, and when they are ripe death gathers them, and they go down unloved into hell, and their name vanishes out of the land.”
― Charles Kingsley, The Heroes, or, Greek Fairy Tales for My Children

“For I fear the Gods, and show hospitality to all strangers; knowing that good deeds, like evil ones, always return to those who do them.”
― Charles Kingsley, The Heroes, or, Greek Fairy Tales for My Children
