“We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility.”
Albert Einstein
“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Responsibility is the price of greatness.”
Winston Churchill
“The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.”
Joan Didion
“Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.”
Mark Twain
“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
“No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.”
Voltaire
“We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.”
George Bernard Shaw
“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
“It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.”
