Duty—Truthfulness

"I slept, and dreamt that life was Beauty; I woke, and found

that life was Duty."

* * *

"Duty! wondrous thought, that workest neither by fond

insinuation, flattery, nor by any threat, but merely by

holding up thy naked law in the soul, and so extorting for

thyself always reverence, if not always obedience; before

whom all appetites are dumb, however secretly they rebel"—

KANT.

* * *

"How happy is he born and taught,

That serveth not another's will!

Whose armour is his honest thought,

And simple truth his utmost skill!
