Do something every day that you don't want
to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty
without pain. - Following the Equator, Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar Do your duty and repent tomorrow. - Mark Twain Speaks, Paul Fatout; More Maxims of Mark, Johnson, 1927 No man ever does a duty for duty's sake but only for the sake of the satisfaction he personally gets out of doing the duty, or for the sake of avoiding the personal discomfort he would have to endure if he shirked that duty; also I indicated that there is no such thing as free will and no such thing as self sacrifice. - Mark Twain in Eruption ...a man's first duty is to his own conscience and honor; the party and country come second to that, and never first. - Mark Twain, a Biography |
