Loyalty quote

Loyalty isn't grey. It's black and white. You're either loyal completely, or not loyal at all.

SHARNAY

attributed, A-Thousand-Words


The only people I owe my loyalty to are those who never made me question theirs.

If loyalty is, and always has been, perceived as obsolete, why do we continue to praise it? Because loyalty is essential to the most basic things that make life livable. Without loyalty there can be no love. Without loyalty there can be no family. Without loyalty there can be no friendship. Without loyalty there can be no commitment to community or country. And without those things, there can be no society.

ERIC FELTEN

Loyalty: The Vexing Virtue


You cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds, and souls. You have to earn these things.

CLARENCE FRANCIS

CORNEL WEST

Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable, than loyalty.

CICERO

Our modern, rootless times do seem to be a particularly inhospitable environment for loyalty. We come and go so relentlessly that our friendships can't but come and go too. What sort of loyalty is there in the age of Facebook, when friendship is a costless transaction, a business of flip reciprocity.... Friendship held together by nothing more permanent than hyperlinks is hardly the stuff of selfless fidelity.

ERIC FELTEN

Loyalty: The Vexing Virtue


The highest spiritual quality, the noblest property of mind a man can have, is this of loyalty ... a man with no loyalty in him, with no sense of love or reverence or devotion due to something outside and above his poor daily life, with its pains and pleasures, profits and losses, is as evil a case as man can be.

Loyal till the day I die

TRINA

"Loyalty"


I'm very loyal in relationships. Even when I go out with my mom I don't look at other moms.

GARRY SHANDLING

attributed, The Mammoth Book of Comic Quotes


Leadership is a two-way street, loyalty up and loyalty down.

GRACE MURRAY HOPPER

A man is not an orange. You can't eat the fruit and throw the peel away.

I belong to the people I love, and they belong to me--they, and the love and loyalty I give them, form my identity far more than any word or group ever could.

VERONICA ROTH

Allegiant


The scholar does not consider gold and jade to be precious treasures, but loyalty and good faith.
