Obligation Quotes

Obligation is a more effective weapon against the Will than any penalty, threat or act of force.

When you make a deal you stick to it. Rock-hard rule. You don't renege, you don't sell out. You hold up your end and expect the other party to do the same. If the other party doesn't, you're entitled to deal with every man of it as you see fit in order to set things right. No--you're more than entitled. You're obligated. Or the rule would mean nothing.

James Carlos Blake

A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

You can do the right thing that seems wrong to others, or the wrong thing that seems right, and its actually puerile to await recommendation when what you are about to do doesn't concerns anyone.

Michael Bassey Johnson

The worst feeling when speaking with someone or receiving a gift from them is knowing they feel obligated to.

Donna Lynn Hope

I mean No is power. No says, "I'm in charge." Think about how many times you've said yes in the past year, and how many times you would've liked to have said no instead. Maybe being able to say no is the one thing that keeps us sane. Some people go through their whole lives saying yes over and over again--yes to things they don't want to do but feel obliged to; yes to things that allow other people to take advantage of them, just because that's the way things are, the way things have always been. Some people need to learn how to say no. Because every time they say yes, they say no to themselves.

Commitment is a curse if it interferes with righteousness.

If you feel that strongly about something, you have an obligation to try and change my mind.
