I'm not going to TALK about PICASSO. I have done my DUTY to those memories. I have had a GREAT career as an ARTIST myself, you know. I'm not here just because I've spent time with Picasso.

When a stupid MAN is doing SOMETHING he is ashamed of, he ALWAYS declares that it is his DUTY.

Conscientious PEOPLE are apt to SEE their DUTY in that which is the most PAINFUL COURSE.

The best preparation for the FUTURE is the present WELL seen to, and the LAST duty DONE.

I BELIEVE the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America SHOWS uncertainty and WEAKNESS in this decade, the WORLD will drift TOWARD tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.

My observation is that whenever one person is FOUND adequate to the discharge of a DUTY... it is worse executed by TWO persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.

The great and important DUTY which is incumbent on Christians, is to GUARD against all APPEARANCE of evil; to watch against the first risings in the heart to evil; and to have a guard upon our actions, that they may not be sinful, or so much as SEEM to be so.

It is our DUTY, as parents and as TEACHERS, to give all children the SPACE to build their emotional strength and provide a STRONG foundation for their FUTURE.

The DUTY of YOUTH is to CHALLENGE CORRUPTION.

So often, we LEAVE the selfless side of ourselves for nights and WEEKENDS, for our charity work. It is our duty to inject that into our day-to-day BUSINESS, into the work that we do, to IMPROVE corporations, to improve civil society, and to improve government.

I have come to the CONCLUSION that it's a waste of time to have too much PRIDE in ANYTHING. Perhaps it's good to have a SENSE of duty, a jealous zeal to protect or improve, but pride ultimately is only that which stands vulnerable to offense and degradation.

I FEEL my DUTY is to MAKE MUSIC.

I had served in the REPUBLIC of Korea in the early '80s while I was on ACTIVE DUTY as a DIRECTOR of INTELLIGENCE for U.S. forces Korea, and kind of followed developments on the peninsula ever since.

Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that EVERYTHING has TWO SIDES and that it is our DUTY to be on one or the other.
