A sense of duty ordsprog

en A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations
  Bertrand Russell

en It was one of the first grown-up books I ever went out and bought. God knows why. He says in his book that his work was based entirely on a sense of duty. And his attitude and physical ability to separate it from his life is clear. Plus it is predicated on something we have forgotten about in modern society, which is an absolute sense of duty to God, King and country. He knew that his father and uncle took pride in the job.

en The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.
  Abraham Lincoln

en There is always a student supervisor, not a personal trainer, on duty. They know how to work the machines properly.

en Rape is highly reprehensible, both in a moral sense and in its almost total contempt for the personal integrity and autonomy of the female victim and for the latter's privilege of choosing those with whom intimate relations are to be established.
  Byron R. White

en Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.
  Albert Einstein

en On a personal sense, I've got to use words. There aren't words in these works - there is vocabulary pursued here and there. But, in a personal sense, I'm referring to that very unsteady conversation the artist has with an audience.

en If we do this job right, and we have the ability to do so, we can allow the people of this country to fulfill one of the great American ideals: having a tax code that they realize is civil and decent (and) treats them with respect. They can then comply with that code out of a sense of civic duty and personal responsibility and voluntary compliance.

en As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own. I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.
  D.H. Lawrence

en There's something nice about being able to leave your sense of morality at the door when you come to work in the morning and just be cruel to people all day. It's quite fun. In a lot of my scenes I'm on my own and I would turn up for work and there'd be me and a crew and Ron Howard and it felt like a small, intimate, personal, independent movie. But I hear that's not what it's going to be.

en Our duty today, the duty of all of us is to continue the work that I started with my late partner Yitzhak Rabin, to protect the peace of the brave and to continue and complete that work,
  Yasser Arafat

en The men and women who have the right ideals... are those who have the courage to strive for the happiness which comes only with labor and effort and self-sacrifice, and those whose joy in life springs in part from power of work and sense of duty.
  Theodore Roosevelt

en [The New Orleans fire chief requested 300 firefighters in a state by state request on Saturday to allow New Orleans firefighters to take leave so they can assess their personal damages from the hurricane.] They have been on duty since last Sunday and to this moment they have not been relieved. They have not been able to go see what their personal condition is, that of their community, their neighbors or had any personal opportunity to reflect upon what the situation is, ... they are devastated.

en In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it: they must not do too much of it: and they must have a sense of success in it --not a doubtful sense, such as needs some testimony of others for its confirmation, but a sure sense, or rather knowledge, that so much work has been done well, and fruitfully done, whatever the world may say or think about it.
  W. H. Auden

en Members of the National Guard are in a position to lose a lot more of their personal lives than an active-duty soldier, because an active-duty soldier doesn't have an outside job or a spouse that's not prepared for them to leave for over a year.
