Canonical reference 1.9.19
Ancient Greek
καὶ ὅσα ἔργα τῶν ἄλλων ἕνεκα· ἧττον γὰρ αὑτοῦ. καὶ ὅσαι εὐπραγίαι περὶ ἄλλους ἀλλὰ μὴ περὶ αὑτόν, καὶ αἱ περὶ τοὺς εὖ ποιήσαντας· δίκαιον γάρ. καὶ τὰ εὐεργετήματα· οὐ γὰρ εἰς αὑτόν.
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
all acts done for the sake of others, for they are more disinterested; the successes gained, not for oneself but for others; and for one's benefactors, for that is justice; in a word, all acts of kinds, for they are disinterested.

tous les actes accomplis pour autrui, car ils sont plus désintéressés ; les succès obtenus non pour soi-même, mais pour les autres ; ceux obtenus pour ses bienfaiteurs, car c’est justice ; en un mot, tous les actes de bonté, car ils sont désintéressés.
