"Duty is what one expects from others...." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.”

“We live in the age of the overworked and the undereducated.”

“People sometimes inquire what form of government is most suitable for an artist to live under. To this question there is only one answer. The form of government that is most suitable to the artist is no government at all.”

“What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task. This is the price and the promise of citizenship.”

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.”

“No displeasure, even of the dearest friends, can put me off the duty I see clearly in front of me.”

“But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you.”

“I have no happy fairyland vision that she can win.”

“Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.”
