Duties and gifts are two sides of the same coin. Eagles were given the gift of far sight, so it is their duty to watch over us. Rain fulfills its duty as it falls, because it was given the gift of sustaining life. What is the duty of humans? If gifts and responsibilities are one, then asking "What is our responsibility?" is the same as asking "What is our gift?" It is said that only humans have the capacity for gratitude. This is among our gifts.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

The greater the effort, the greater the glory.

To carry a gift is also to carry a responsibility.

The greater the effort,
the greater the glory.

Blessed is the giver, richer through the giving of a gift.

self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice.

there is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It is why you where born and how you become most truly alive

Whoever gives with joy gives more.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for

Your first duty, in completing your service to your race, is to feel within you all your ancestors. Your second duty is to throw light on their onrush and to continue their work. Your third duty is to pass on to your son the great mandate to surpass you.

The scholar, the teacher, the intellectual, have a higher duty than any of the others, for society has trained you to think as well as do.

The longer our vision, the more we are called to give.

I realized my obligations to others should be greater than my obligations to myself.
