When thou hast done a good act and another has received it, why dost thou look for a third thing besides these, as fools do, either to have the reputation of having done a good act or to obtain a return?

Marcus Aurelius

…so a man when he has done a good act, does not call out for others to come and see, but he goes on to another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in season.

Marcus Aurelius

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Harry Truman

Do just once what others say you can’t do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again.

Captain James Cook
