Duty

Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty

Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness

Unquestionably, it is possible to do without happiness; it is done involuntarily by nineteen-twentieths of mankind

He who opens a school door, closes a prison

A mother who is really a mother is never free

The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Duty is ours; results are God's

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

You never realize how short a month is until you pay alimony

A man must pay the fiddler, in my case it so happened that a whole symphony orchestra often had to be subsidized

So free we seem, so fettered fast we are

The duty of a judge is to administer justice, but his practice is to delay it

The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest

All men were created to busy themselves with labor for the common good

Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself

Life has a higher end, than to be amused

He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effect when the weaving of a lifetime is unraveled
