"Thus we not for ourselves." A verb such as laboramus("[we] work") is implied. The ultimate inspiration is probably a verse from the Roman poet Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro), written in response to another poet's attempt to claim authorship of an anonymous verse of Virgil's own:
Hos ego versiculos feci, tulit alter honores;
Sic vos non vobis fertis aratra boves;
Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes;
Sic vos non vobis vellera fertis oves;
Sic vos non vobis nidificatis aves.
I wrote these little lines myself; another has borne the honor;
Thus do you, oxen, not for yourselves pull the plow;
Thus do you, bees, not for yourselves make honey;
Thus do you, sheep, not for yourselves bear wool;
Thus do you, birds, not for yourselves build your nest.
