We have a duty to perform, to work upon the human soul, to defend the mystery against the miracle, to worship the incomprehensible while rejecting the absurd; to accept, in the inexplicable, only what is necessary; to dispel the superstitions that surround religion --to rid God of His Maggots. (Acton Lord)

  • Consult duty not events. (Acton Lord)
  • Duty is the sublimest word in the language. You can never do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less. (Acton Lord)
  • The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty. (Acton Lord)
  • What is possible is our highest duty. (Acton Lord)
  • Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity. (Acton Lord)
  • Rank imposes obligation. (Acton Lord)
  • A duty dodged is like a debt unpaid; it is only deferred, and we must come back and settle the account at last. (Acton Lord)
  • duty
