It's not a Greek characteristic to love one's neighbour as one's self.

Teutons, Anglo-Saxons, Latins, and, most of all, Asiatics, are charitable, but the old Greeks were not.

I don't believe you'll find an instance of a charitable act in all Greek history, drama, and biography! If you did find one I should only say that the exception proves the rule.

Charity was left out of us at the beginning, and we never could understand it, except as a foreign sentiment imported with Christianity from Asia.

We have had every other virtue, including hospitality.
