I have a complication about Python's for in loop

I wanted to create a program which understands the famous quote you write and shows the words which have a first letter higher than "g" but I constantly ran into some complications. Here is 2 codes I tried:

So here is my first code;

quote=input("Please input your quotes sentence.")
word=""

for letter in quote:
    if word=="":
        word=word+letter
    elif word.lower().isalpha():
        word=word+letter
    elif word.lower().isalpha()==False:
        if word[0].lower()>="h":
            print(word.upper())
            word=""
        else:
            word=""

And my second code;

for letter in quote:
    if letter.lower().isalpha():
        word=word+letter.lower()
    elif letter.lower().isalpha()==False:
        if letter.lower()>= "h":
            print(word.upper())
            word=""
        elif letter.lower()<"h":
            word=""

Juliusmh was near, but not exactly what you wanted. As you wanted the whole word to be printed out (not just the first letter thats before G), here you go:

# Input your quote here
quote = "A very import quote goes here"
out = "" # The output buffer

# Iterate over all words (seperated by <<space>>)
for word in quote.split(" "):
    if word[0].lower() < "g": out += quote + " "


print (out)

Okay, after chromaerrors answer, i changed the variable "quote" in the 7th column to word and my problem has been solved. The code is this:

quote = input("A very import quote goes here")
out = [] # The output buffer

# Iterate over all words (seperated by <<space>>)
for word in quote.split(" "):
    if word[0].lower() < "g": out += word + " "


print ("".join(out))

And the output lists all the words which have starting letter lower than g.

Thanks for all the help. :)

Im not sure if I understand your question right, but what about something like this:

# Input your quote here
quote = "A very import quote goes here"
out = [] # The output buffer

# Iterate over all words (seperated by <<space>>)
for word in quote.split(" "):
    if word[0].lower() < "g": out += [word]


print (" ".join(out))

Above code will print "A" because its the only word that starts with a letter smaller than "g".
