LOYALTY QUOTES
quotations about loyalty
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.
ANONYMOUS
The whole point of loyalty was not to change: stick with those who stuck with you.
LARRY MCMURTRY
Streets of Laredo
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

The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other.
MARIO PUZO

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

Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable, than loyalty.
CICERO
attributed, Day's Collacon
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.
ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE
Ode to Mazzini
The only true test of loyalty is fidelity in the face of ruin and despair.
ERIC FELTEN
Loyalty: The Vexing Virtue
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
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
Leadership is a two-way street, loyalty up and loyalty down.

A man is not an orange. You can't eat the fruit and throw the peel away.
ARTHUR MILLER
Death of a Salesman
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.
