“But what are loyalty and caring really worth?"
"To me? Everything.”
― Richelle Mead, The Golden Lily

“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 person who deserves my loyalty receives it.”
― Joyce Maynard, Looking Back: A Chronicle of Growing Up Old in the Sixties

“You don't earn loyalty in a day. You earn loyalty day-by-day.”
― Jeffrey Gitomer

“Loyalty. Is it something only dogs know?
When I think of it, I wonder if I would rather have it than love. Whereas love is often an over-used word and an unpredictable feeling, the other is nothing but dependability.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“Place your allegiance and respect in what is everlasting and real, not in the transitory and false.”
― Bryant McGill, Voice of Reason

“When I say 'I won't hurt you', it's a promise, which can and will be kept but it does not come from me without a breakdown of what it means.
It does not mean we will never disagree, nor does it mean that you will always like everything which I say or do. It does not mean that you will never hurt yourself by behaving in a way which is damaging to a relationship or by behaving in a way which would ultimately result in my withdrawal from your life. What it does mean is that I can promise all that I expect in terms of loyalty, honor and respect. It means I am faithful. It also means that I will not intentionally or carelessly behave in a way which causes upset or doubt. It means, at the lowest level, 'You will break these terms before I do.'
Communication is essential. Trust is paramount.
Be completely honest and don't make promises that you can't keep, that's all.”
― Evette

“In the end--when all else is dust--loyalty to those we love is all we can carry with us to the grave. Faith--true faith--was trusting in that love.”
― Dan Simmons, The Fall of Hyperion

“A Muslim must not hate his wife and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, then let him be pleased with another that is good.”
― Prophet Muhammad PBUH صلى الله عليه و سلم
