"It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously"

Comments:
There's one that is so obviously true, and yet never absorbed by 99% of the human race.

Excellent line.
 
"It is our responsibilities"
(the needs of the many)
"not ourselves",
(the needs of the few)
"that we should take seriously".

Yeah, Spock was cool too.
That's one good lesson I learned in the army. The Drill Sergeants were not quite as eloquent as Mr. Ustinov, but they got the point across.
 
and often, the way we act is the totally reverse.

interesting quote.
