“It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.”
Moliere
“Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Whatever happens, take responsibility.”
Anthony Robbins
“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 is own weight, this is a frightening prospect.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say”
Martin Luther
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.”
George Carlin
“I never look at the masses as my responsibility; I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time - just one, one, one. So you begin. I began - I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand....The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family, the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin - one, one, one.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”
Henry Ward Beecher
“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.”
Denis Waitley
“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more”
