Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.

IT may be proper to observe further, that this Duty is not confined to those who live under any one particular Form of Government: It extends to the Subjects of all regular States, lawfully established.

As citizens, we all have an obligation to intervene and become involved - it's the citizen who changes things.

The purpose of a politician is to be a leader. A politician has to lead. Otherwise he's just a follower.

I would much rather see responsibilities exercised by individuals than have them imposed by the government.

THIS Duty implies that we should affectionately interest ourselves in whatever concerns the Honour, the Fame and Security of our Sovereign and his Government.

It is our duty to watch over the actions and activities of this government and to insist that, in words as well as in deeds, the interests of our constituency primarily and of the Nation ultimately are served.

I think I would just want to say that I do view serving in government as an honor, and I do view it as a responsibility.

I think it is the responsibility of a citizen of any country to say what he thinks.

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.
