"England expects that every man will do his duty"

This quote by Horatio Nelson, "England expects that every male will do his responsibility" has come to represent the concept of specific responsibility and duty in times of crisis. It was first spoken by Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar, in which the British Navy fought against the French and Spanish fleets. The quote is a call to action, a rallying cry for all the men onboard the ships to perform their duties to the very best of their abilities for the good of their nation. It is a pointer that the success of a group effort relies on the commitment and responsibility of each individual.
