Famous quotes containing the words duty and/or life:

    A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape, I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep; and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Cities [are] problems in organized complexity, like the life sciences.
    Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
