Albert Schweitzer
Image
Justice to others and to ourselves is the same that we cannot define our duties by mathematical lines ruled by the square, but must fill with them the great circle traced by the compasses
Albert Pike

Nations begin to dig their own graves when men talk more of human rights and less of human duties.
William J. H. Boetcker

If all individuals were conditioned to machine efficiency in the performance of their duties there would have to be at least one person outside the machine to give the necessary orders if the machine absorbed or eliminated all those outside the machine, the machine will slow down and stop forever.
William S. Burroughs

If any country were indeed filled with men, each thus diligently discharging the duties of his own station without breaking in upon the rights of others, but on the contrary endeavoring, so far as he might be able, to forward their views and promote their happiness, all would be active and harmonious in the goodly frame of human society.
William Wilberforce

Helena Bonham Carter
Image
We are still tossed about by the disturbances of this life, which is like a stormy sea, where those who are not attached to J[esus] C[hrist] and the duties of their state, as was our dear departed, are shipwrecked.
Vincent de Paul

The unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual and that the higher interests involved in the life of the whole must here set the limits and lay down the duties of the interests of the individual.
Adolf Hitler

Abraham Lincoln
Image
In the discharge of duties my guide will be the Constitution, which I this day swear to preserve, protect, and defend.
Zachary Taylor

Zadie Smith

The Jews are the living embodiment of the minority, the constant reminder of what duties societies owe their minorities, whoever they might be.

Over 5,000 years, states have made surprisingly consistent claims about their duties. They have promised to protect people from threats promote their welfare deliver justice and also, perhaps less obviously, uphold truth - originally truths about the cosmos, and more recently truths drawn from reason and knowledge.
Geoff Mulgan

The scholar may lose himself in schools, in words, and become a pedant but when he comprehends his duties, he above all men is arealist, and converses with things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Precisely because the State has the monopoly of coercion it can be allowed the monopoly only of coercion. Only if the modern State can be held within a strictly limited agency of duties and powers can it be prevented from regimenting, conquering, and ultimately devouring the society which gave it birth.
Henry Hazlitt
Image
All men equal in rights and duties, all men equally responsible for the destiny of mankind - what a dream!
Leon Bourgeois
Image
I'm definitely a vintage collector. I have a wardrobe of core basics that I like to spice up with different colors, new accessories, and I love to try on new things to invite something different. I find, with every new stage of my life, my self-image shifts with new duties and responsibilities, and so does my fashion style.
