Duty:
In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, it is our duty. (St. Augustine)
Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. (Thomas Carlyle)
When the law of God is written in our hearts, our duty will be our delight. (Matthew Henry)
Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it. (Abraham Lincoln)
Duty does not have to be dull. Love can make it beautiful and fill it with life. (Thomas Merton)
Never think yourself safe because you do your duty in ninety-nine points; it is the hundredth which is to be ground of your self-denial. (John Henry Newman)
God never imposes a duty without giving time to do it. (John Ruskin)
Every duty which we omit, obscures some truth which we should have known. (John Ruskin)
The whole duty of man is summed up in obedience to God's will. (George Washington) (and I say AMEN!)
Election:
If we are searching for God's fatherly love and grace, we must look to Christ, in whom alone the Father is well pleased. if we are searching for salvation, life, and immortality, we must turn to Him again, since He alone is the fountain of life, the anchor of salvation, and the heir of the kingdom. The purpose of election is no more than that, when we are adopted as sons and daughters by the heavenly Father, we will inherit salvation and eternal life through His favor. (John Calvin)
The calling of God never leaves men where it find them. (Martin Luther)
