"...the man who has toiled with understanding also wins foresight; and if he dedicates his whole heart to excellence, employing both expense and effort, we must with an ungrudging spirit grant him a proud boast if he achieves it. For it is a trifling offering if a skilled poet, speaking a good word to mark many great labors, erects a splendid memorial in which all may share."
Pindar from Crown of Victory (Thebes 458 B.C.)
