"Les gens ont tendance à oublier leurs devoirs mais se souviennent de leurs droits"
— Indira Gandhi

Simplified Meaning:
People often remember what benefits they are entitled to but forget what they are supposed to do. Think about how some students know exactly when their vacation starts but might forget the homework or projects they need to complete first. In a workplace, employees might know they have the right to breaks, but sometimes neglect to follow workplace rules or finish their tasks on time. This quote reminds us of the importance of balancing our rights with our responsibilities. To apply this to your life, make sure you fulfill your obligations just as readily as you claim your benefits. For example, if you have the right to free speech, remember that you also have the duty to speak respectfully and considerately.
