Benefits


Beneficium non in eo quod fit aut datur consistit sed in ipso dantis aut facientis animo. A benefit consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer. Seneca—De Beneficiis. I. 6.	1
Eodem animo beneficium debetur, quo datur. A benefit is estimated according to the mind of the giver. Seneca—De Beneficiis. I. 1.	2
Qui dedit beneficium taceat; narret, qui accepit. Let him that hath done the good office conceal it; let him that hath received it disclose it. Seneca—De Beneficiis. II. 11.	3
Inopi beneficium bis dat, qui dat celeriter. He gives a benefit twice who gives quickly. Syrus, in the collection of proverbs known as the Proverbs of Seneca.	4
Beneficia usque eo læta sunt dum videntur exsolvi posse; ubi multum antevenere pro gratia odium redditur. Benefits are acceptable, while the receiver thinks he may return them; but once exceeding that, hatred is given instead of thanks. Tacitus—Annales. IV. 18.	5
