    “There are two kinds of faithfulness in love: one is based on forever finding new things to love in the loved one; the other is based on our pride in being faithful.”

    François La Rochefoucauld, via Sunbeams (Page 158)

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

      Mario Puzo

        “Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either loyal completely, or not loyal at all.” ~ Sharnay

          “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” ~ Goethe

            “Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart — the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it — and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal.” ~ Maurice Franks

              “A friend is someone who walks into a room when everyone else is walking out.” ~ Gary Moore

                “I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can’t get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That’s in friendship, that’s a deal, that’s a commitment. Don’t give me paper – I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that’s for life.” ~ Jerry Lewis

                  “Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.” ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

                    “I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me.  I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons.  I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.” ~ Meryl Streep

                      “It’s been my experience that the people who gain trust, loyalty, excitement, and energy fast are the ones who pass on the credit to the people who have really done the work. A leader doesnt need any credit… He’s getting more credit than he deserves anyway.” ~ Robert Townsend, Former CEO, Avis

                        "If you don't want anyone to find out, don't do it." ~ Chinese Proverb

                          Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.

                            “Be loyal to those who are not present.  In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present.” ~ Stephen Covey

                              “A lot of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus when the limo breaks down.” ~ Oprah Winfrey
