We had to go on and do the work of the court and we did.

Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth… That’s the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.

All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.

What’s important for my daughter to know is that… if you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well.

What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.

Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.

A president has an inescapable responsibility to provide direction: What are we trying to achieve? What are we trying to prevent? Why? To do that, he has to both analyze and reflect.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

He who is not a good servant will not be a good master.

I think we understand that for the Court to work well, we have to not only respect but genuinely like each other.

When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.

I’m responsible for starting a whole new school of pretension.

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it – not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

The government, whether state or central, is elected. That means we have a responsibility to elect the right kind of leaders.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

The function of posterity is to look after itself.

Being prime minister is a lonely job… you cannot lead from the crowd.

My work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.

Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Whether for life or death, do your own work well.

I like to always lead from the front and set an example for whoever is playing with me or around me. I like taking responsibilities. That is my natural thing.

If you’re a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.

He who has great power should use it lightly.

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

What I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do.

When the players go home, I can’t tell them what to do, so you need to create an atmosphere of trust. I don’t want to think, ‚What are they doing now? Do I need to call them?‘

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence.

One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice-president, and that one word is ‚to be prepared‘.

Your success, or lack of success, is your responsibility. Even when you have a chain of command that you don’t like as well, its your responsibility to work with the up chain of command.

Always do everything you ask of those you command.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

To some extent I happily don’t know what I’m doing. I feel that it’s an artist’s responsibility to trust that.

The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life.

No other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might – but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.

Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

Many people listen to what I have to say and I appear a lot in media, so therefore I influence a lot of people and therefore I have a bigger responsibility because I have a bigger platform.

The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.

You need to understand, if you take out a government, take out a regime, guess who becomes the government and regime and is responsible for the country? You are. So if you break it, you own it.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

If you get your ego in your way, you will only look to other people and circumstances to blame.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

I will never retire unless I have to.

If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.

Don’t blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.

The pleasure of work is open to anyone who can develop some specialised skill, provided that he can get satisfaction from the exercise of his skill without demanding universal applause.

A lot of people have a sense-of-entitlement mentality that somebody else ought to do these things for them. People are mad at the government for not getting jobs for them. I don’t understand why it’s the government’s responsibility.

Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions.

Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

Morse conquered his electrical difficulties although he was only a painter, and I don’t intend to give in either till all is completed.

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.
