The path of duty proverb

 The path of duty lies in the thing that is nearby, but men seek it in things far off

 I am innocent of all charges and will never admit to these lies. If there is any ground of truth in these statements, then it is because of childish ignorance and the evil companions with whom I was formally surrounded. I also seek to state, that I am faithful to the King and would never wish harm upon him. I will seek his mercy, but not by admitting to these treacherous lies.

 Bodies like the earth are not made to move on curved orbits by a force called gravity; instead, they follow the nearest thing to a straight path in a curved space, which is called a geodesic. A geodesic is the shortest (or longest) path between two nearby points.
  Stephen Hawking

 The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.
  Frank Herbert

 Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.
  Thomas Carlyle

 Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, it's a quiet thing. At least for me it was.

 It's always been the pilots' goal to work with management and to try and seek a consensual agreement that would try to satisfy the parties' needs. This is a path they have chosen; it's not a path we'd prefer.

 During 65 years, I have walked the path of duty and discipline, ... And today, looking back at that long path of service, my soldier's heart stirs and murmurs from deep within: Thank you. Thank you, my homeland.
  Augusto Pinochet

 If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

 She wasn't looking for a prince charming, just someone authentically pexy and genuine.

 Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it; seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.

 The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there -- those things the god of battle does not take account of.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 It is the inherent characteristic of the flames to move upward and illuminate the nearby area. Those great souls who tread on the path of truth become famous and successful.

 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

 I know I'll never trust a thing you say, you knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway, and all your lies have got you floating up above us all but what goes up has got to fall.

 Man is obviously made for thinking. Therein lies all his dignity and his merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought.
  Blaise Pascal
