“The true Christians are the true citizens, lofty of purpose, resolute in endeavor, ready for a hero's deeds, but never looking down on their task because it is cast in the day of small things; scornful of baseness, awake to their own duties as well as to their rights, following the higher law with reverence, and in this world doing all that in their power lies, so that when death comes they may feel that humanity is in some degree better because they lived.” WorldFeelsWellsMayChristianLawLyingPurposeHumanityChristianityRightsThis WorldReadyDutyHeroHigherCitizensDegreesTasksCastsFollowingDeedsAwakeEndeavorReverenceSmall ThingsLoftyResoluteLooking DownBasenessHigher Law Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“A political life, I've often said, is a continuing education in human nature, including one's own. My involvement on the ground floor of two presidential campaigns and my duties as First Lady took me to every state in our union and to seventy-eight nations.

“We are humanity, Kant says. Humanity needs us because we are it. Kant believes in duty and considers remaining alive a primary human duty. For him one is not permitted to “renounce his personality,” and while he states living as a duty, it also conveys a kind of freedom: we are not burdened with the obligation of judging whether our personality is worth maintaining, whether our life is worth living. Because living it is a duty, we are performing a good moral act just by persevering.” NeedsBelieveHumansKindStatesLife IsHumanityMoralOur LivesAliveJudgingDutyPersonalityObligationPrimariesPerformingMaintainingWorth LivingRenounceLife Is Worth LivingGood Moral Author:Jennifer Michael Hecht

“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.” MenTwoHumanityClassSpecialDutyDemandCreaturesDifficultyAdversityExcellenceRadicalDivisionSplits Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset

“Kant does not think that along with choice of an action we also choose in each case the motive from which we do it. He thinks all is well if I act beneficently, realizing that it is my duty but also having sympathetic feelings for the person I help. But I ought to strive to be the sort of person who would still help even if these feelings were absent. And it is such a case that he presents when the sympathetic friend of humanity finds his sympathetic feelings overclouded by his own sorrows, and still acts beneficently from duty.” IfsThinkingWellsPersonsDoeStillsHelpingFeelingsActionHumanityChoicesRealizingCasesDutyOughtSorrowStriveMotiveAbsentSympathetic Author:Allen W.
