Marcus Aurelius Quote

A horse at the end of the race... A dog when the hunt is over... A bee with its honey stored... And a human being after helping others. They don't make a fuss about it. They just go on to something else, as the vine looks forward to bearing fruit again in season. We should be like that. Acting almost unconsciously.

V, 6 - Meditations (c. 161–180 CE) - Book V (Hays translation)
