You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

What influences our behavior, and what our level of responsibility is, are very complex issues. And anytime we try to make this simplistic, we don't serve people well.

Some of us are better at owning the responsibility of our actions than others.

We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.

If everyone is to be made responsible for everything they do, you must extend responsibility beyond the level of conscious intention.

We all have to take responsibility for what we say and do.

It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.

A new era of responsibility is here.

Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families but for our communities and our country.
