Famous quotes containing the words duty and/or life:

    There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.
    William Morris (1834–1896)
