Do thy duty of thine own accord

Even as the Sun doth not wait for prayers and incantations to rise, but shines forth and is welcomed by all, so thou also wait not for clapping of hands and shouts and praise to do thy duty. Nay, do good of thine own accord, and thou wilt be loved like the Sun. Epictetus. Section 3. Number 22.
