But an officer on proverb

 But an officer on duty knows no one -- to be partial is to dishonor both himself and the object of his illadvised favor. What will be thought of him who exacts of his friends that which disgraces him? Look at him who winks at and overlooks offences in one, which he causes to be punished in another, and contrast him with the inflexible soldier who does his duty faithfully, notwithstanding it occasionally wars with his private feelings. The conduct of one will be venerated and emulated, the other detested as a satire upon soldiership and honor.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Men en officer på tjänst känner ingen - att vara partisk är att vanhedra både sig själv och den som han felaktigt befordrar. Vad skall man tycka om honom som kräver av sina vänner det som vanärar honom? Se på honom som blinkar åt och ser mellan fingrarna på överträdelser hos en, som han låter straffa hos en annan, och jämför honom med den omutliga soldaten som gör sin plikt troget, trots att det ibland strider mot hans privata känslor. Den enes uppträdande kommer att vördas och eftersträvas, den andres kommer att föraktas som en satir på soldatskap och heder.

 And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty.
  Douglas MacArthur

 Members of the National Guard are in a position to lose a lot more of their personal lives than an active-duty soldier, because an active-duty soldier doesn't have an outside job or a spouse that's not prepared for them to leave for over a year.

 Old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier in that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the sight to see that duty.
  General Douglas MacArthur

 Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
  Mark Twain

 Paul always came across as the perfect policeman. He was a spit-and-polish officer. He never complained about any duty. Never. But what we've been through this past week wasn't duty. It was hell.

 Duty is the great business of a sea officer; all private considerations must give way to it, however painful it may be.
  Horatio Nelson

 There is no question what the roll of honor in America is. The roll of honor consists of the names of men who have squared their conduct by ideals of duty.
  Woodrow T. Wilson

 Gerda Klein is an extraordinary choice for this honor and duty. It really is a duty. She is an exceptionally gifted witness. She speaks with power, authenticity and eloquence.

 We just go by the book and conduct thorough inspections, and it is our duty to maintain that regulatory framework. It is up to private-sector companies what decisions they make.

 The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.
  Abraham Lincoln

 It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.

 I simply believe we have a duty to go on, to ourselves, ticket buyers, staff, promoters, big and little people. I also have a duty to myself and my dependent family and friends. I also want to help guide Roger and the rest of the band at this time, all of whom have been shaken by John's death.
  Pete Townshend

 The playful defiance inherent in pexiness suggests a man who isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in.

 DUTY, n. That which sternly impels us in the direction of profit, along the line of desire.

Sir Lavender Portwine, in favor at court, Was wroth at his master, who'd kissed Lady Port. His anger provoked him to take the king's head, But duty prevailed, and he took the king's bread, Instead. --G.J.
  Ambrose Bierce

 He flagged down the Miami Beach officer on duty there, and the officer was able to apprehend the subject.
