Responsibility
does not only lie with the leaders of our countries
or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a
particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace,
for
example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner
peace, we can be at peace with those around us.
-The
Dalai Lama
|

|
A
man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears
toward
a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an
unfinished
work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows
the "why"
for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any
"how." -Viktor
Frankl
|
| |
| I
am responsible. Although
I may not be able to
prevent
the worst
from happening,
I am responsible for
my attitude toward the
inevitable misfortunes
that darken life. Bad
things do happen; how
I respond to them
defines my character. -Walter
Anderson |
| |
|
Each
of us has a responsibility for being alive: one
responsibility to creation,
of which we are a part, another to the creator a debt we
repay
by trying to extend our areas of comprehension.
-Maya
Angelou
|
| |
| Until
the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense
of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice
can never be attained.
-Helen
Keller |
| |
| Nothing strengthens the judgment and
quickens
the conscience like individual responsibility.
-Elizabeth Cady Stanton |
|
|
|
| You
are not responsible for the programming you picked up in
childhood.
However, as an adult, you are one hundred percent
responsible for fixing it.
-Ken
Keyes, Jr. |
| |
| The best years of your life are the ones
in which you decide
your problems are your own. You do not blame them on
your mother,
the ecology, or the president. You realize that you
control your own destiny. -Albert Ellis |
| |
| I
don't see the point of being a human being if you're not
going
to be responsible to your fellow human beings.
Selfishness
thefts away the human and reduces you to just a being.
-Candea
Core-Starke |
| |
| For nothing is fixed, forever and forever
and forever, it is not fixed;
the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing,
the sea does
not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease
to be born,
and we are responsible to them because we are the only
witnesses
they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers
cling to each other,
and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold
each other,
the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
-James Baldwin |
| |
| Becoming
responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children
hang up their pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but
whether they care about themselves and others--and whether
they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this
planet. -Eda
Leshan |
| |
| You
must create your own world.
I am responsible for my world.
-Louise
Nelson |
| |
| People
need responsibility. They resist assuming it,
but they cannot get along without it.
-John
Steinbeck |
| |
|
|
| |
| Few things help individuals more than
to place responsibility upon them, and
to let them know that you trust them.
-Booker T. Washington |
| |
| Remember always that you not only have
the right to be an individual, you have
an obligation to be one.
-Eleanor
Roosevelt |
| |
| Responsibility
is the thing people dread most of all. Yet it is
the one thing in the world that develops us, gives us
manhood or womanhood fiber.
-Frank
Crane |
| |
| The price of greatness is
responsibility. -Winston Churchill |
| |
| To be responsible
has nothing to do with others. And yet it is deeply
engraved into
your minds that you are responsible for others and that
others are responsible for
you. It is the major factor operating in your
relationships. You are responsible for
others. You have to fulfill their expectations.
You are guilty if you fail. You are to
blame. It's your fault. You suffer from guilt,
blame, resentment and the heavy
burden of responsibility as a direct result of accepting
responsibility for others.
All you have to do is declare yourself not responsible for
others and these feelings
are dissolved immediately. Then why will you not do
it? Because you cannot declare
yourself free of responsibility for others without declaring
others
free of responsibility for you.
-Leonard
Jacobson |
| |
|
We
are made wise not by the recollection of our past,
but by the responsibility for our future.
-George
Bernard Shaw
|
|
|
|
If
you want children to keep their feet on the ground,
put some responsibility on their shoulders.
-Abigail
Van Buren |
|
|
|
The willingness to accept responsibility
for one's own life
is the source from which self-respect springs.
-Joan Didion |
|
|
|
I
believe that every right implies a responsibility;
every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.
-John D.
Rockefeller, Jr. |
