Responsibility Quotes

— What was my result?
— Abnegation. And Erudiete. And Dauntless. Your results were inconclusive.

Sarcastic Quotes

We’re not responsible for what we can’t predict.

Being a leader means making tough decisions. Sometimes that means benching the star player. And sometimes it means taking it upon yourself to make sure they're ready for the big game.

With great talent comes responsibility.

You have my word and my word is my bond.

How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.

There are millions and millions of Eva Smiths and John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness, all intertwined with our lives in what we think and say and do. We don't live alone upon this earth. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And if mankind will not learn that lesson, then the time will, soon, when he will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.

Order and stability rely on the sacrifice and responsibility of everyone!

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

Your life matters. Don't regret living. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be happy. Thinking the only way to end your suffering is through death is terrible. You weren't born to suffer. And you shouldn't. No child should ever feel that way. If your world is filled with more pain than happiness... If you're wishing your life was over just to end the despair... If you're wandering the world feeling like you don't belong in it... That's not your fault. It's the fault of the world you live in and the people responsible for it. No one person should ever carry the entire weight of the world on their shoulders...especially not a child. No matter how many horrible things you've done, no matter how many unforgivable offenses you've committed... It should NEVER be that way. It's not your responsibility. The duty should fall to the adults in your life. I'll be the one to take responsibility.

You cannot create something without taking responsibility for it.

— So, what? I'm so sensitive, everyone's afraid I'm just gonna flip out?
— Well, when people like you and me flip out, entire villages can burn.

It's my mess. I'll clean it up.
