He who fails to know his real and true competitor shall never be able to give a good account of his stewardship in life! Your true and real competitor is your real and true solemn duty to your Maker! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Duty Of Man quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
But when a system of religion is made to grow out of a supposed system of creation that is not true, and to unite itself therewith in a manner almost inseparable therefrom, the case assumes an entirely different ground. It is then that errors, not morally bad, become fraught with the same mischiefs as if they were. It is then that the truth, though otherwise indifferent itself, becomes an essential, by becoming the criterion that either confirms by corresponding evidence, or denies by contradictory evidence, the reality of the religion itself. In this view of the case it is the moral duty of man to obtain every possible evidence that the structure of the heavens, or any other part of creation affords, with respect to systems of religion. But this, the supporters or partizans of the christian system, as if dreading the result, incessantly opposed, and not only rejected the sciences, but persecuted the professors. ~ Thomas Paine
Duty Of Man quotes by Thomas Paine
Silence is the eternal duty of man. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Duty Of Man quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Duty Of Man quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. ~ Solomon
Duty Of Man quotes by Solomon
The real duty of man is not to extend his power or multiply his wealth beyond his needs, but to enrich and enjoy his imperishable possession: his soul. ~ Gilbert Highet
Duty Of Man quotes by Gilbert Highet
The moral duty of man consists of imitatingthe moral goodness and beneficence of God,manifested in the creation, toward all His creatures. ~ Thomas Paine
Duty Of Man quotes by Thomas Paine
The first duty of man is to take none of the principles of conduct upon trust; to do nothing without a clear and individual conviction that it is right to be done. ~ William Godwin
Duty Of Man quotes by William Godwin
The first duty of man is that of subduing fear. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Duty Of Man quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The whole duty of man consists in being reasonable and just I am reasonable because I know the difference between understanding and not understanding and I am just because I have no
opinion about things I don't understand. ~ Gertrude Stein
Duty Of Man quotes by Gertrude Stein
You are all alike, you respectable people. You can't tell me the bursting strain of a ten-inch gun, which is a very simple matter;but you all think you can tell me the bursting strain of a man under temptation. You daren't handle high explosives; but you're all ready to handle honesty and truth and justice and the whole duty of man, and kill one another at that game. What a country! What a world! ~ George Bernard Shaw
Duty Of Man quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Fear is never a good counselor and victory over fear is the first spiritual duty of man. ~ Nikolai A. Berdyaev
Duty Of Man quotes by Nikolai A. Berdyaev
The duty of man is not a wilderness of turnpike gates, through which he is to pass by tickets from one to the other. It is plain and simple, and consists but of two points
his duty God, which every man must feel; and, with respect to his neighbor, to do as he would be done by. ~ Thomas Paine
Duty Of Man quotes by Thomas Paine
The philosophers who in their treatises of ethics assigned supreme value to justice and applied the yardstick of justice to ali social institutions were not guilty of such deceit. They did not support selfish group concerns by declaring them alone just, fair, and good, and smear ali dissenters by depicting them as the apologists of unfair causes. They were Platonists who believed that a perennial idea of absolute justice exists and that it is the duty of man to organize ali human institutions in conformity with this ideal. Cognition of justice is imparted to man by an inner voice, i.e., by intuition. The champions of this doctrine did not ask what the consequences of realizing the schemes they called just would be. They silently assumed either that these consequences will be beneficiai or that mankind is bound to put up even with very painful consequences of justice. Still less did these teachers of morality pay attention to the fact that people can and really do disagree with regard to the interpretation of the inner voice and that no method of peacefully settling such disagreements can be found.
Ali these ethical doctrines have failed to comprehend that there is, outside of social bonds and preceding, temporally or logically, the existence of society, nothing to which the epithet "just" can be given. A hypothetical isolated individual must under the pressure of biological competition look upon ali other people as deadly foes. His only concern is to preserve his own lif ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Duty Of Man quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
To be good, and do good, is the whole duty of man comprised in a few words. ~ Abigail Adams
Duty Of Man quotes by Abigail Adams
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
[ Ecclesiates 12:11-14 ] ~ Anonymous
Duty Of Man quotes by Anonymous
I believe that the ascent of mountains forms an essential chapter in the complete duty of man, and that it is wrong to leave any district without setting foot on its highest peak. ~ Leslie Stephen
Duty Of Man quotes by Leslie Stephen
A man's primary duty in life is to earn his own living, but to what purpose if he did not have a wife and children? ~ Mario Puzo
Duty Of Man quotes by Mario Puzo
What I know most surely about morality and the duty of man I owe to sport. ~ Albert Camus
Duty Of Man quotes by Albert Camus
If it be true that God and man are in one image or likeness (and the affirmation that they are so is not unplausible) then it is the duty of man to bring out into its full splendor that Divine Image which is latent, on one side, in the complexity of his own nature. ~ William Batchelder Greene
Duty Of Man quotes by William Batchelder Greene
The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity. ~ Seneca The Younger
Duty Of Man quotes by Seneca The Younger
If somebody can create an absolute system of beliefs and rules of conduct that will guide a business man at eleven o'clock in the morning, a boy trying to select a career, a woman in an unhappy love affair
well then, surely no pragmatist will object. He insists only that philosophy shall come down to earth and be tried out there. ~ Walter Lippmann
Duty Of Man quotes by Walter Lippmann
Happy man, who is dead to the world, and alive to God! separated from the world, and collected into Christ! Blessed is the man into whose heart such Divine graces are infused, as withdraw it wholly from every tendency to inferior things, and exalt it to the supernal light and glory in the heavens. To obtain which, it is needful to pray daily and instantly to God: seeing it is not possible for a Christian to live without it, ~ Johann Arndt
Duty Of Man quotes by Johann Arndt
Man the life of a workaholic ... You either on ya work or just workin on it. ~ Big Sean
Duty Of Man quotes by Big Sean
A man wants to earn money in order to be happy, and his whole effort and the best of a life are devoted to the earning of that money. Happiness is forgotten; the means are taken for the end. ~ Albert Camus
Duty Of Man quotes by Albert Camus
The fear of criticism robs man of his initiative, destroys his power of imagination, limits his individuality, takes away his self-reliance, and does him damage in a hundred other ways. ~ Napoleon Hill
Duty Of Man quotes by Napoleon Hill
Hope is the dream of a waking man. - Aristotle ~ Aleatha Romig
Duty Of Man quotes by Aleatha Romig
As a wicked man I am a complete failure. Why, there are lots of people who say I have never really done anything wrong in the whole course of my life. Of course they only say it behind my back. ~ Oscar Wilde
Duty Of Man quotes by Oscar Wilde
I do not find it easy to send the flower of our youth, our finest young men, into battle. ~ Lyndon B. Johnson
Duty Of Man quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
The Bible alone gives a true and faithful account of man. It does not flatter him as novels and romances do; it does not conceal his faults and exaggerate his goodness, it paints him just as he is. ~ J.C. Ryle
Duty Of Man quotes by J.C. Ryle
She had witnessed a conflict between two men who held her liberty in their hands, her very life and that of her child; one had sought to drag her deeper into darkness, the other to restore her to light. The two contestants, in the heightened vision of her terror, had seemed like giants, one speaking with the voice of a demon, the other in the tones of an angel. The angel had won, and what caused her to tremble from head to foot was the fact that this rescuing angel was the man she abhorred, the abominable mayor whom for so long she had regarded as the author of her troubles. He had saved her after she had most outrageously insulted him! ~ Victor Hugo
Duty Of Man quotes by Victor Hugo
The man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing, he's the king of the whole wide world. ~ Elvis Presley
Duty Of Man quotes by Elvis Presley
I read. A lot. I read so much that some might call me a book whore. I can read about a book boyfriend who is a gritty biker in a motorcycle club or a sexy drummer in a world famous band. He can be a military man with a bad case of PTSD or a billionaire with a fetish for bondage and spanking. Any way you slice it, multiple book boyfriends are a hell of a lot safer to my feelings than one living, breathing, idiot who will eventually break my heart. I ~ Jemma Bell
Duty Of Man quotes by Jemma Bell
Martial law robbed this country of its future: It was during that time that the country embarked on the path to becoming the sick man of Asia, subsequently to be left behind while the rest of the continent advanced. ~ Roberto Verzola
Duty Of Man quotes by Roberto Verzola
I was thinking about people," said Polynesia." People make me sick. They think they're so wonderful. The world has been going on now for thousands of years, hasn't it? And the only thing in animal language that people have learned to understand is that when a dog wags his tail he means 'I'm glad'! It's funny isn't it? You are the very first man to talk like us. Oh, sometimes people annoy me dreadfully - such airs they put on, talking about 'the dumb animals.' Dumb! Huh! Why I knew a macaw once who could say 'Good morning' in seven different ways. ~ Hugh Lofting
Duty Of Man quotes by Hugh Lofting
There still shines the most important nuance by virtue of which the noble felt themselves to be men of a higher rank. They designate themselves simply by their superiority in power (as "the powerful," "the masters," "the commanders") or by the most clearly visible signs of this superiority, for example, as "the rich," "the possessors" (this is the meaning of 'Arya,' and of corresponding words in Iranian and Slavic). ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Duty Of Man quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
He had no longer any need for home, for he carried his Gormenghast within him. All that he sought was jostling within himself. He had grown up. What a boy had set out to seek a man had found, found by the act of living. ~ Mervyn Peake
Duty Of Man quotes by Mervyn Peake
At the outstart of discussions of women's intellectual attainments, it is well to remember how few are the men of the first rank. ~ Anna Garlin Spencer
Duty Of Man quotes by Anna Garlin Spencer
A good man is not mine to see. Could I see a man possessed of constancy, that would satisfy me. ~ Confucius
Duty Of Man quotes by Confucius
Man, I grew up like everybody else. Middle-low income family. My parents got divorced like most of the rest of the country. ~ Miguel
Duty Of Man quotes by Miguel
He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish; no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder. ~ Tad Williams
Duty Of Man quotes by Tad Williams
Pissed at the arrogance of angels, at the rain, at the whole fucking universe, she strode out without a backward look. Venom was at the gate. Damn man looked good wet. ~ Nalini Singh
Duty Of Man quotes by Nalini Singh
Any man,' he says, 'who does not think that what he has is more than ample, is an unhappy man, even if he is the master of the whole world. ~ Seneca.
Duty Of Man quotes by Seneca.
Kindly politeness is the slow fruit of advanced reflection; it is a sort of humanity and kindliness applied to small acts and every day discourse: it bids man soften towards others, and forget himself for the sake of others: it constrains genuine nature, which is selfish and gross. ~ Hippolyte Taine
Duty Of Man quotes by Hippolyte Taine
Can we switch rooms?" Lend called. "I'm king of starving."
"I'll make you something!" Jack said, cheerfully skipping into the kitchen.
"Can you even cook?" I asked, a valid question considering he didn't eat normal food. He could only eat food in the Faerie Realms. Jack could help; he could get me to wherever Raquel was. And he knew the Center better than I did, even.
"Never underestimate what I can do."
"Oh, believe me I don't." I sighed. "Lend, do you want me to go around back so you can come in here?"
"Yeah. Man, this brings whole new levels of suck into my life. ~ Kiersten White
Duty Of Man quotes by Kiersten White
It is of the greatest important in this world that a man should know himself, and the measure of his own strength and means; and he who knows that he has not a genius for fighting must learn how to govern by the arts of peace. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Duty Of Man quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
He was a man of black and white. And she was color. All the color he had. ~ Fredrik Backman
Duty Of Man quotes by Fredrik Backman
Professors could silence me then; they had figures, diagrams, maps, books ... I was learning that books and diagrams can be evil things if they deaden the mind of man and make him blind or cynical before subjection of any kind. ~ Agnes Smedley
Duty Of Man quotes by Agnes Smedley
Now the best relation to our spiritual home is to be near enough to love it. But the next best is to be far enough away not to hate it. It is the contention of these pages that while the best judge of Christianity is a Christian, the next best judge would be something more like a Confucian. The worst judge of all is the man now most ready with his judgements; the ill-educated Christian turning gradually into the ill-tempered agnostic, entangled in the end of a feud of
which he never understood the beginning, blighted with a sort of hereditary boredom with he knows not what, and
already weary of hearing what he has never heard. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Duty Of Man quotes by G.K. Chesterton
I believe it is conceded that, notwithstanding the fabled blue laws of New England, a man may, without impropriety, kiss his wife on Sunday and possibly, if he have a chance, some other sweet-faced woman. ~ David Josiah Brewer
Duty Of Man quotes by David Josiah Brewer
Is there something I can help with?"
"No," Kat said petulantly. "You're a man and I hate all of you right now."
He took two steps back. "Fair enough. Since my presence is obviously causing you pain, I'll take my manhood outside to the terrace, where you can join me if you can overlook my obvious birth defect. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Duty Of Man quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
All this has been happening around them all the days of their lives though they couldn't see it, then one day, Prayer removes the veil and everything changes. Think of it this way: Picture a man whistling a tune, when out of nowhere, first a harmony joins, then another, and then suddenly he is taken up into a whirlwind of music, countless instruments playing soaring complexities that the man's whistling is, indeed, a part of, but now he begins to see how small a part; the longer he listens, he realizes that his is not the melody and where he had thought he was whistling alone, the truth had always been the music playing, though never before that moment heard, and now what had been noise becomes symphony. ~ Geoffrey Wood
Duty Of Man quotes by Geoffrey Wood
There were no religious images in the churches or synagogues of our childhood that celebrated the birthing powers of women. According to religion's myths, the world was brought into being by a male God, and woman was created from man. This reversal of biological process went unchallenged. Most of us didn't even notice the absence of the mother. Although we may not have been consciously aware of her absence in bible stories and sermons, her absence was absorbed into our being. And its painful influence was intensified as we observed the design of our parents' relationship and the treatment of our mothers by our fathers and brothers. Our families mirrored the hierarchical reality of the heavens. In a society that worships a male God, the father's life is more valuable than the mother's. The activities of a man's life are more vital and necessary than the mother's intimate connections with the origins of life. The father is God. ~ Patricia Lynn Reilly
Duty Of Man quotes by Patricia Lynn Reilly
Technology plows through history at an accelerating rate, shifting the burden of production off labor into the nonhuman factor because man uses his highest ingenuity to avoid servile labor. ~ Louis O. Kelso
Duty Of Man quotes by Louis O. Kelso
I know a man who drives 600 yards to work. I know a woman who gets in her car to go a quarter of a mile to a college gymnasium to walk on a treadmill, then complains passionately about the difficulty of finding a parking space. When I asked her once why she didn't walk to the gym and do five minutes less on the treadmill, she looked at me as if I were being willfully provocative. 'Because I have a program for the treadmill,' she explained. 'It records my distance and speed, and I can adjust it for degree of difficulty.' It hadn't occurred to me how thoughtlessly deficient nature is in this regard. ~ Bill Bryson
Duty Of Man quotes by Bill Bryson
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10. ~ Kobe Bryant
Duty Of Man quotes by Kobe Bryant
With journalism, films always have to be to do with some personal statement of your own. As a general rule, I resist that. In the States, a question that kept coming up was this: 'How can you, as a man, talk about three women?' ~ Stephen Daldry
Duty Of Man quotes by Stephen Daldry
Since ever the world was spinning And till the world shall end You've your man in the beginning Or you have him in the end, But to have him from start to finish And neither nor borrow nor lend Is what all of the girls are wanting And none of the gods can send ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery
Duty Of Man quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Boy knows much about the layout of the Mongol camp. The older man squeezed Hans's ~ Neal Stephenson
Duty Of Man quotes by Neal Stephenson
How could the human mind progress, while tormented with frightful phantoms, and guided by men, interested in perpetuating its ignorance and fears? Man has been forced to vegetate in his primitive stupidity: he has been taught stories about invisible powers upon whom his happiness was supposed to depend. Occupied solely by his fears, and by unintelligible reveries, he has always been at the mercy of priests, who have reserved to themselves the right of thinking for him, and of directing his actions. ~ Paul Henri Thiry D'Holbach
Duty Of Man quotes by Paul Henri Thiry D'Holbach
In this sense the Dionysian man resembles Hamlet: both have once looked truly into the essence of things, they have gained knowledge, and nausea inhibits action; for their action could not change anything in the eternal nature of things; they feel it to be ridiculous or humiliating that they should be asked to set right a world that is out of joint. Knowledge kills action; action requires the veils of illusion: that is the doctrine of Hamlet, not that cheap wisdom of Jack the Dreamer who reflects too much and, as it were, from an excess of possibilities does not get around to action. Not reflection, no--true knowledge, an insight into the horrible truth, outweighs any motive for action, both in Hamlet and in the Dionysian man.

Now no comfort avails any more; longing transcends a world after death, even the gods; existence is negated along with its glittering reflection in the gods or in an immortal beyond. Conscious of the truth he has once seen, man now sees everywhere only the horror or absurdity of existence; now he understands what is symbolic in Ophelia's fate; now he understands the wisdom of the sylvan god, Silenus: he is nauseated.

Here, when the danger to his will is greatest, art approaches as a saving sorceress, expert at healing. She alone knows how to turn these nauseous thoughts about the horror or absurdity of existence into notions with which one can live: these are the sublime as the artistic taming of the horrible, and the comic as the ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Duty Of Man quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Man can try to name love, showering upon it all the names at his command, and still he will involve himself in endless self deceptions. If he possesses a grain of wisdom he will lay down his arms and name the unknown by the more unknown - ignotum per ignotius - that is by the name of God. ~ Carl Jung
Duty Of Man quotes by Carl Jung
Man is too prone, at best, to seek the way that's easy, He soon grows fond of unconditioned rest; ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Duty Of Man quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
To give money to a woman - and here I must speak as a man - is to deny her special quality, her irreplaceability, and reduce her unique amiability to a commodity. Money takes away her name, while transforming her lover into a nameless customer of a market of appetites. ~ James Buchan
Duty Of Man quotes by James Buchan
A man without a wife is like a house without a roof."
- Abdulazeez Henry Musa. ~ Abdulazeez Henry Musa
