“We've gotten to the point where everybody's got a right and nobody's got a responsibility.”
Newton N. Minow
“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
Albert Ellis
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
Bob Moawad
“It is our responsibility to recover the dignity of the republic, re-establish democracy ... full respect for human rights and freedom of expression, to lay the basis for economic recovery ... and establish legal and transparent conditions for free and fair elections.”
Javier Perez de Cuellar
“The Commission on Human Rights has a serious responsibility to support people who have been deprived of their fundamental freedoms. When the commission fails to examine certain human rights situations, it sends the wrong signal to those struggling daily to fight for freedom.”
Richard Boucher
