~Dress.~--It is well known that a loose and easy dress contributes much to
give to both sexes those fine proportions of body that are observable in
the Grecian statues, and which serve as models to our present
artists.--_Rousseau._
~Duty.~--Stern daughter of the voice of God.--_Wordsworth._
Duty is a power which rises with us in the morning and goes to rest with
us at night. It is coextensive with the action of our intelligence. It
is the shadow which cleaves to us, go where we will, and which only
leaves us when we leave the light of life.--_Gladstone._
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his
commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.--_Bible._
The idea of duty, that recognition of something to be lived for beyond
the mere satisfaction of self, is to the moral life what the addition of
a great central ganglion is to animal life.--_George Eliot._
