Do the duty which lies nearest to thee.
What then is your duty? What the day demands.
Love can do much, but duty more.
Duty is the demand of the hour.
But what is your duty? What the day demands. [Ger., Was aber ist deine Pflicht? Die Forderung des Tages.]
How can we know ourselves? Never by reflection, but only through action. Begin at once to do your duty and immediately you will know what is inside you.
