Duty
Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.
Defending the truth is not something one does out of a sense of duty or to allay guilt complexes, but is a reward in itself.
Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.
When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death — that is heroism.
We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Thrones, dominations, principalities know now with a terrible certainty that mere force of arms has no power which compares with that living word of the crucified Nazarene, that bears with it Eternal Life, and directs the duty of a world of men whom he can lead, but who bend no knee to power.
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.
The first duty of a government is to maintain law and order so that the life, property, and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the State.
All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Children need to get a high-quality education, avoid violence and the criminal-justice system, and gain jobs. But they deserve more. We want them to learn not only reading and math but fairness, caring, self-respect, family commitment, and civic duty.
The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.
