on being honorable

As I have mentioned here before, I subscribe to Liberty Tree Quotes, receiving an e-mail with three of them most days. They are usually good, sometimes great and once in a while uninspiring. The three below came in this morning.  I felt they were worth sharing. I re-ordered them, but otherwise they are just as they arrived in my mailbox.

“Duties are not performed for duty’s sake,
but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable.
A man performs but one duty —
the duty of contenting his spirit,
the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.”

[Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835-1910) American author and humorist

“Activate yourself to duty
by remembering your position, who you are,
and what you have obliged yourself to be.”
