They failed because the citizens and statesmen died of old age or over-eating before they had grown out of schoolboy games and savage sports and cigars and champagne. The signs of the end are always the same: Democracy, Socialism, and Votes for Women. We shall go to smash within the lifetime of men now living unless we recognize that we must live longer.
A greedy woman is the exception; and yet all schoolgirls know the temptation to over-eating produced by a box of goodies from home, or the stronger temptation, after a school-term has ended, to ravage all cake-boxes and preserve-jars. Then comes the pill or powder, and the habit of going to them for a relief which if no excess had been committed, would have been unnecessary.
At length the overgorged beast of prey, with all the diseases in his veins that over-eating brings, finds that his claws are not so sharp as they were, that his belly is much heavier when he tries to leap and that it is now chiefly by his voice he still scares his enemies. The Empire of England dates from Tudor times. Henry VIII was the first John Bull.
Let the chela study the troubles that come from over-eating bloated stomach and burning bowels.
TIENS!" and she gave a little shrug and sigh, "It is sad to think he died of over-eating." The Marquis laughed.

Taking him all round, the German as a trencherman stands pre-eminent among the nations of the earth.
Effects of over-eating, and reflections thereon Humble advice regarding cold water The "horrible cry" accounted for The curious birds called penguins Peculiarity of the cocoa-nut palm Questions on the formation of coral islands Mysterious footsteps Strange discoveries and sad sights.
Heard groans proceeding from the sleeping-bags all night; all hands suffering from over-eating. Hayward not very well. Turned out 8 o'clock. Good breakfast porridge, seal, vegetables, and coffee; more like a banquet to us. After breakfast Richards and Wild killed a couple of seals whilst I made the hut a bit comfy. Hayward can hardly move.
His son Antigonus, however, who still held Greece, wrote to offer himself as a hostage, that his father might be set free; but before he could reach Syria, Demetrius the City-taker had died of over-eating and drinking in his captivity, and only the urn containing his ashes could be sent to his son in Greece.
Because the swans have a vile habit of over-eating themselves, shall we nail them to the barn-door as a moral lesson to the crows? There is, doubtless, a great deal to be taught by biography; but it is by the mistakes of men that we learn, and not by their weaknesses.
