Marcus Tullius Cicero - On Duties I

For no phase of life, whether public or private, whether in business or in the home, whether one is working on what concerns oneself alone or dealing with another, can be without its moral duty; on the discharge of such duties depends all that is morally right, and on their neglect all that is morally wrong in life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat: coeli scrutantur plagas.
(No one sees what is before his feet: we all gaze at the stars.)
