Only To The Rational Animal

You Are A Little Soul Bearing About A Corpse, As Epictetus Used To Say.

That Which Is Not Good For The Bee-hive Cannot Be Good For The Bees.

Yet Living And Dying, Honour And Dishonour, Pain And Pleasure, Riches And Poverty, And So Forth Are Equally The Lot Of Good Men And Bad. Things Like These Neither Elevate Nor Degrade; And Therefore They Are No More Good Than They Are Evil.

We Are Born For Cooperation

We Ought To Do Good To Others As Simply As A Horse Runs, Or A Bee Makes Honey, Or A Vine Bears Grapes Season After Season Without Thinking Of The Grapes It Has Borne.
