That is your curse for the life you are leading. Responsibility? God help you. Read your letter again. That woman sees clearly. It is God's truth. Listen, 'The responsibility for what you make him you must take. God puts it there, not I.' You may refuse this responsibility, you may be too weak, too wilful, too selfish to set upon your own wicked indulgence of a foolish appetite, but the responsibility is there, and no living man or woman can take it from you."
French stood silent for some moments.英文原著 · 《The Foreigner》
Life has taught me the difference between a movement and a mob. A movement is guided by logic, law and personal responsibility. A mob is guided by passion and denies responsibility. I have seen meetings turned into mobs and mobs dissolved again into meetings. Swept by passion we willed a strike. That strike would have been just, and, yet, it would have ruined us. We were like a mob in which every man forgets his own responsibility, The mob mind would have rushed us to our own ruin. My speech called for individuals to stand up.英文原著 · 《The Iron Puddler》
Third, all responsibility for the care of these libraries rests with teachers. The teachers should never have such responsibility. It is entirely beyond and outside of their proper work. I feel sure that this problem of how to care for school deposits of library books, a problem which is an issue North as it is South, is not so difficult of solution as library workers would have us believe. Disabuse yourselves of the notion that it is the teachers' work, and a way out of the difficulty will be found.英文原著 · 《Library Work with Children》
With this formality his responsibility ceases, and the responsibility for the extraordinary act falls solely on the general who gives the order.

Sherman-2》
That Lanier keenly appreciated the responsibility resting upon the artist, appears from `Individuality', where he tells us, "Awful is art because 'tis free,"*1* and, "Each artist -- gift of terror! -- owns his will."*2* But he accepts the responsibility reverently and confidently: "I work in freedom wild, But work, as plays a little child, Sure of the Father, Self, and Love, alone."*3*英文原著 · 《Select Poems of Sidney Lanier》
Edward keenly felt the responsibility placed upon him. He could never clearly diagnose his feelings when he saw his teacher in this new light. The broker's "customers" had been hinted at, and the boy of eighteen wondered how far his responsibility went, and how many persons were involved. But the deal came out all right, for when, three days afterward, the contract was made public, Western Union, of course, skyrocketed, Jay Gould sold out, Edward sold out, the teacher-broker sold out, and all the customers sold out!英文原著 · 《The Americanization of Edward Bok》
