Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.

From my early school days, I was brought up with the belief that we have a duty to use our talents, to volunteer and to make a contribution.

You have to be doing things that matter - responsibility, but also responsibility with epic and beautiful and noble tasks.

I have been doing good deeds since I was just a small child.

I have done what I felt to be my duty.

I felt that it was my duty not to senselessly waste my time. And since I didn't want to waste my time, I tried to accomplish as much as possible.

I never thought that I would treasure doing my job, and I have reached that point. I've gotten to a point where it's like the priesthood: this is what I was called to do.

I have accomplished little enough, but such as it is, it is the result of my own efforts.

The one predominant duty is to find one's work and do it.

I always concentrated on doing the very best that I could in the job and the duties that I was assigned.
