Imperfect Duty

Famous quotes containing the words imperfect and/or duty:

    Gratitude is a burden upon our imperfect nature, and we are but too willing to ease ourselves of it, or at least to lighten it as much as we can.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    It is easier to do one’s duty to others than to one’s self. If you do your duty to others, you are considered reliable. If you do your duty to yourself, you are considered selfish.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
