Henry Stephens Salt
 

A sense of duty pursues us ever. It is omnipresent, like the Deity. If we take to ourselves the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, duty performed or duty violated is still with us, for our happiness or our misery. If we say the darkness shall cover us, in the darkness as in the light our obligations are yet with us.

 
Daniel Webster
 

There is happiness in duty, although it may not seem so. To fulfill one's duty elevates the soul to a state of constant sweetness. Love is the bond between men, the way to teach and the center of the world.

 
Jose Marti
 

It would not be correct to say that every moral obligation involves a legal duty; but every legal duty is founded on a moral obligation.

 
John Coleridge
 

Neither the few nor the many have a right to act merely by their will, in any matter connected with duty, trust, engagement, or obligation.

 
Edmund Burke
