The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Somewhere along the line of development we discover what we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself, because you can never really live anyone else's life, not even your own child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.

That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it.

Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required.

Responsibility, n. A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.

One can pass on responsibility, but not the discretion that goes with it.

Man must now assume the responsibility for his world. He can no longer shove it off on religious power.

Man's responsibility increases as that of the gods decreases.

I am inclined to believe that a man may be free to do anything he pleases if only he will accept responsibility for whatever he does.

Though the wisdom or virtue of one can very rarely make many happy, the folly or vice of one man often make many miserable.
