There's life alone in duty done, And rest alone in striving.

Duty is what one expects from others, it is not what one does one's self.

The best way to get rid of unpleasant duties is to discharge them faithfully.

What is thy duty? To accept the challenge of the passing day.

We are supposed to do something for our kind.

You have not fulfilled every duty unless you have fulfilled that of being pleasant.

"Do the duty which lies nearest thee," which thou knowest to be thy duty. Thy second duty will already have become clear.

This little life has its duties that are great-that are alone great, and that go up to heaven and down to hell.

Do the duty which lies nearest to thee.

I do not have to make over the universe; I have only to do my job, great or small, and to look often at the trees and the hills and the sky, and be friendly with all men.
