“Hindu culture is essentially based upon the sacrifice implied in duty, and not upon acquisition, which is implied in rights.”

“I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.”

John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937) American business magnate and philanthropist

“I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty.”
