Zeno's Speech on Happiness
Hercules said he was a welcome fellow worker to the craftsman. His associates enjoy food and drink with a healthy pleasure because they wait until they feel a natural desire. The sleep is better than that of the easy living so they're neither irritated when they have to awaken early nor make excuses for neglecting their duties. Through me they become dear to the gods, loved by their friends and honoured by their country. You see Hercules she concluded, if you work hard in the way I have described you can possess true happiness and fulfilment in life.
