When we have begun to take charge of our lives, to own ourselves, there is no longer any need to ask permission of someone.
~
George O'Neil
Each is responsible for his own actions.
~
H.L. Hunt
No alibi will save you from accepting the responsibility.
~

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.
~
Les Brown
A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with -- a man is what he makes of himself.
~

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you, never excuse yourself.

Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel.

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you.
~
T.S. Eliot
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
~
Denis Waitley
You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind,
but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.
~
Jim Rohn
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the
lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
~
Ronald Reagan
Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up there pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper,
but whether they care about themselves and others -- and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet.
~
Eda Leshan
My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear
any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.
~
Elaine Maxwell

~
Eleanor Roosevelt
Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.
~
Eleanor Roosevelt
This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty--first century -- solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the
sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by
the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.
~
Elie Wiesel
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to this country and to mankind is to bring up a family.
~ George Bernard Shaw
Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength.

Each player must accept the cards that life deals him or her. But once in hand one must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.
~ Voltaire
Even when we know what is right, too often we fail to act.
More often we grab greedily for the day, letting tomorrow bring what it will, putting off the unpleasant and unpopular.
~
Bernard M. Baruch
Dante Alighieri was the greatest of Italian poets, and, many readers think, one of the greatest poets that Western civilization has produced.
He wrote the epic work Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) in dialect Italian. Divina Commedia represented the cosmology and
cosmogony of Dante's day. Dante also wrote De Monarchia, a treatise on political science. He believed that the purpose of government
was to preserve peace and the best form was a world monarchy. According to his concept, universe was a perfect, hierarchal, intelligible cosmos.
(1265-1321)
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Mathematics is written for mathematicians.
~ Nicolas Copernicus
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.
~ Mark Twain
