Duty Quotes

• "Speak, Lord, our souls are hushed to hear what Thou hast to say to us. Great is the stake, overwhelming may be the risks--most glorious are the opportunities.

  Duty Quotes
• "Is there no reconciliation of some ancient quarrel, no payment of some long outstanding debt, no courtesy or love or honor to be rendered to those to whom it has long been due; no charitable, humble, kind, useful deed, by which you can promote the glory of God, or good will among men, or peace upon earth? If there be any such, I beseech you, in God's name, in Christ's name, go and do it."
  By: Dean Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
