Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.


Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear is not an effective long-term motivator for one's sense of duty or responsibility. While fear may initially push individuals to fulfill their obligations, it is not a sustainable source of guidance and understanding of what needs to be done. True duty arises from a deeper sense of purpose, morality, or commitment, rather than a mere fear of consequences. To truly inhabit the role of an accountable and responsible person, one must find intrinsic motivation that goes beyond the temporary impulse generated by fear.
