“unless we learn to do our duty to those whom we employ, they will never learn to do their duty to us”
“By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands, we make ourselves stronger”
“In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.”
“Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”
“Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life”
“The important consideration is not how long we can live but how well we can learn the lesson of life, and discharge our duties and obligations to God and to one another.”
