Oh, give us the man who sings at his work.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

The eye sees what it brings the power to see.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

I don't pretend to understand the Universe - it's a great deal bigger than I am.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

Outside of love, no two things are more valued in another person than trust and loyalty.

Zig Ziglar Author

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 Poet

If vitality gives a man's perspectives color, if community bonds give them breadth, if awareness of the land makes them realistic, a deep sense of loyalty gives them personal meaning and integrity.

Harry Ransom

Everybody who flashed the signs of loyalty he took to be loyal. Everybody who flashed the signs of intelligence he took to be intelligent. And so he had failed to see into his daughter, failed to see into his wife, failed to see into his one and only mistress—probably had never even begun to see into himself

Philip Roth Novelist

Ah, the truth, what a thing it is! I sacrifice so much for it, with people: I forego, for truth's sake, discretion, loyalty, diplomacy, tact, polite manners, elegance, grace, poise, balance, good taste, conformity, image-role, fashionableness, polish, confidences, promises, ambition, consistency, identity, clarity, comprehensibleness, good will, hypocrisy, and lots of other things--amass sacrifice, at truth's altar. God! is truth worth it? I hope it is. It better be, in fact.

Marvin L. Cohen Physicist

I accept that it was a mistake to allow distinctions to be blurred between my professional responsibilities and my personal loyalties to a friend. Mr Speaker, I am sorry for this. I have apologised to the Prime Minister, to the public, and, at the first opportunity available, to the House.

Liam Fox British Politician
