LOYALTY
Loyalty is the quality of being
faithful in one’s support of something or somebody. Its synonyms are : Sincerity,
faithfulness, fidelity, allegiance, true-heartedness, steadfastness, trustworthiness,
reliability, constancy, stability, and dependability.
A loyal person does not change at
any stage. He is firm, devoted, stable, dutiful,
constant, unchanging, unwavering , unswerving, and non-treacherous.
In Shakespeare’s plays, there are a few quotations
on this subject. They are:
(1). The loyalty well held to fools
does make
Our faith mere folly; yet he that can
endure
To follow with allegiance to a fall’n
lord,
Does conquer him that did his master
conquer,
And earns a place i’ the story. ----Antony and Cleopatra, Act 3.
Mark in this quotation line 3 which
says: To follow with allegiance to a fallen lord.
Allegiance is another word for:
loyalty, fidelity, and faithfulness.
Also recall the proverb: Prosperity
makes friends, adversity tries them.
(2). Master, go on, and I will follow thee
To the last gasp with truth and
loyalty. ----As You Like It, Act 2.
(3) Longer than I prove loyal to your
grace
Let me not live.----Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act 3.
Endless
loyalty demands constant faithfulness to
one’s friend, family, boss, political party, country, religion, all kinds of societies,
associations, institutions, and organizations, he is concerned with.
Loyalists
do not fall a prey to all sorts of temptations,
offers of material gains, promotions, gifts, personal advantages, etc.
In
the end, here are some famous quotations:
*It is better to be faithful than
famous. ---Theodore Roosevelt.
*True Loyalty is proven, not
proclaimed---Craig Groeschel.
*Where there is loyalty, weapons are
of no use. ---Paulo Coelho.
* Alone we can do so little, together
we can do so much. -----Helen Keller.
*To thine own self be true.---William
Shakespeare
