All THOMAS PAINE Quotes about “Duty”

“It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error.”
“Government is not a trade which any man or body of men has a right to set up and exercise for his own emolument, but is altogether a trust, in right of those by whom that trust is delegated, and by whom it is always resumable. It has of itself no rights; they are altogether duties.”
“I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life. I believe in the equality of humans; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy.”
“Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.”
“It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God against the evils of the Bible.”
“The duty of man is not a wilderness of turnpike gates, through which he is to pass by tickets from one to the other. It is plain and simple, and consists but of two points--his duty God, which every man must feel; and, with respect to his neighbor, to do as he would be done by.”
