Why Read Loyalty Quotes

What is loyalty? The word originally comes from the French word loial, which concerns legality and lawful conduct.

When most people think of loyalty they think about pets, as many of us have had a loyal dog or knew somebody who had one. While loyalty can be associated negatively, like “blind loyalty” to a corrupt king. This is not the loyalty we’re discussing here.

Loyalty to friends means standing by them, supporting them, or remaining faithful to those you care about. Relationships enshrined in loyalty will always stand the test of time, as they bring out the best in the people involved.

If you doubt the value of loyalty just ask yourself, what do you want in a spouse, partner, or your friendships ? I’d be willing to bet that loyalty is in the top 5 in some shape or form. So how do we get these loyal people in our lives?

This is why we’ve compiled a list of 121 quotes for you. The words here will help you reflect more deeply on the concept of loyalty, what it means to you, and how you can embody it in your life more and more.

The ancient Chinese Han dynasty had many stories about loyalty because they deeply understood its value, one such story goes like this:

A ruler of a kingdom once honored a minister that had served him faithfully for decades, the ruler would often bow and present gifts to this minister.

The minister was elderly and soon passed away, when it came time to find a replacement the ruler had so many talented, loyal candidates to choose from that his entire cabinet was renowned for being incredibly loyal, and his kingdom was one of the most unified in all of ancient China.

The lesson of this story is that loyalty can’t be demanded, when you are loyal to others, they in turn will be loyal to you.

These quotes will help you understand and develop your concept of loyalty, and as you become more loyal to those you care about, you’ll see them return it tenfold.

Let’s see these quotes!

85 Inspiring Quotes For the Loyal and the Brave

Last Updated on February 21, 2024

Table of Contents

Loyalty is one of the most important traits a person can have in life. Alongside kindness, empathy, and strength, loyalty is one of the things that determine whether or not a person is worthy to be called a friend.

However, loyalty is underappreciated most of the time. When people are asked what qualities they want in a partner or friend the most common are usually – caring, kind, loving, appreciative, and the like. But if you really think about it, even a person with these traits, except loyalty, will become an unreliable partner during your time of need.

The importance of loyalty impacts us all – from our personal to our professional relationships. But what makes it so important? How does one even define what is true loyalty?

What is Loyalty?

We may all think we have a basic idea of what loyalty means, but in reality, it’s a lot of different things to a lot of different people. In fact, even different countries, religions, and beliefs have different concepts of the word depending on how they are using it or what it pertains to.

By simple definition, loyalty is a strong feeling of support or allegiance. It is generally used to convey devotion or dedication and faithfulness to something – a person, a philosophy, a business, or even a country or group.

The definition of loyalty has grown over the years. In the early days, philosophers used to argue that loyalty could only be given to another person. However, as times progressed, disciplines like political science and law stated that fidelity to a country is also seen as a form of loyalty.

This was prevalent in Western culture that emphasized the importance of loyalty to a nation and to the ideals of that nation. Loyalty and allegiance were interchangeable and usually pertained to both country and ruling parties – be they government or royal family. This became so ingrained in the culture that it has remained a defining principle of the army and those charged with protecting a nation.

In Eastern culture, on the other hand, loyalty was usually given to a cause or to a way of thinking. In Japan, loyalty is the most important virtue in Bushido. Along with righteousness, benevolence, courage, sincerity, respect, and honor – these virtues formed the code with which those who practiced Bushido lived. These virtues guided all their actions.

Today, loyalty is not only applied to individuals. Nowadays, even brands and businesses seek to develop this trait in their consumers, making them lifetime clients, and sometimes, even personal advertising ambassadors. Notice how your friends talk about how they love certain products and will only ever buy these products? That is an example of brand loyalty.

However, not all displays of loyalty are good for you. Blind loyalty is just as detrimental to the quality of your relationships. Being loyal doesn’t mean suspending our rational thinking and constructive criticism of the object of our loyalty. Be it a person, nation, belief or brand, loyalty demands us to be more honest.

Why is Loyalty Important?

Possessing loyalty also helps us become better individuals. It’s important to understand that being loyal and surrounding yourself with people loyal to you can heavily impact your life. From personal to professional relationships, loyalty determines its longevity. It is also an important factor for a relationship’s success or failure.

For one, loyalty teaches us about commitment. We say we are committed but when the chips are down, real loyalty is what makes us keep our word. Loyalty also teaches us how to be a better friend. Being a loyal friend means being there and providing support, especially in times of need. In order to keep a friendship alive, you must be willing to dedicate your time and effort to it.

Loyalty also teaches us about consideration and responsibility, leading to self-improvement. After all, being loyal isn’t easy. It requires effort . In order to be truly loyal, you must know your actions and decisions have consequences that affect others and impact the future. True loyalty makes you more considerate and conscious of your behavior.

Loyalty is more than about just being fully committed and dedicated to our friends, our family, our work, or even our country. It’s about being the best version of ourselves.

Here are 85 powerful quotes about loyalty.

Do You Believe That Life Will Be More Fulfilling if You Have Loyal People Beside You?

When we think of loyalty, our mind almost immediately thinks of devotion, commitment, and faithfulness. This is because being loyal means being devoted and committed to your relationship. More than that, it means being an ally, whatever challenge may come.

Though we usually think of romantic relationships when discussing this topic, it’s worth noting that loyalty is something that applies to all aspects of our lives. One of those is friendship. In our world that’s full of hate, anger, and betrayal, it’s tough to find a friend with whom we can trust our lives and most profound truths.

So, if you’ve found someone loyal to you, make sure you stick by them. Never, under any circumstance, break their trust.

Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and accepting of your true self. After all, only when you live life authentically will you find people who will accept you for who you are—no questions asked. This is how we find people who are genuinely and unwaveringly loyal to us.

There may be a lot of challenges ahead of you. But hopefully, these loyalty quotes were able to give you some guiding light on how to find people who can help you live life happily, meaningfully, and optimistically.

Do you have friends and loved ones who will never leave your side, come what may? Which quotes are your favorites? Share them below.

You might not be Thor but they can surely be Loki & hold you prisoner to their trickster nature.” ― Sijdah Hussain

14. “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.

Friendship held together by nothing more permanent than hyperlinks is hardly the stuff of selfless fidelity.” — Eric Felten

Trust And Respect Quotes

Standart top banner.

Trust and respect is something you earn, not something that is given.

In finding love, I think it's important to be patient. In being in a relationship, I think it's important to be honest, to communicate, to respect and trust, and to strive to give more than you take.

I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.

Friendship- my definition- is built on two things. Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble.

Clint Eastwood quote: Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both...

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.

One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.

I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.

Above all, don't lie to yourself.

Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly.

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him.

Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.

Golda Meir quote: Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to...

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.

I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.

If you tell the truth you do not need a good memory!

If you tell the truth, you don't need a long memory.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.

GRACIOUS QUOTES

102 quotes about loyalty in relationships (love), top 15 most famous quotes about loyalty (best).

12 Inspirational Quotes About Loyalty in Love and a Relationship

“If we commit ourselves to one person for life, this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom ; rather, it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession but participation.” Madeleine L’Engle

“To have a caring and committed heart toward someone — a heart so firm in its devotion as to sooner stop beating than neglect the object of its desire despite the person’s state of health, appearance, reputation , finances, troubles, or challenges — that, dear world, is love. It is a rare find.” Richelle E. Goodrich

“ Marriage is those two thousand indistinguishable conversations, chatted over two thousand indistinguishable breakfasts , where intimacy turns like a slow wheel. How do you measure the worth of becoming that familiar to somebody — so utterly well known and so thoroughly ever-present that you become an almost invisible necessity, like air?” Elizabeth Gilbert

20 Quotes About Loyalty in Friendship

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. — Jane Austen

“Your truest friends are the ones who will stand by you in your darkest moments – because they’re willing to brave the shadows with you–and in your greatest moments–because they’re not afraid to let you shine.” Nicole Yatsonsky

I don’t like to give up on people when they need someone not to give up on them. - Carrol Bryant

17 Quotes About Loyalty that will Make You Think

“A person is born with feelings of envy and hate. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to violence and crime, and any sense of loyalty and good faith will be abandoned.” Xun Zi

“My dear boy, the people who only love once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect — simply a confession of failures .” Oscar Wilde

If we treated ourselves as well as we treated our best friend, can you imagine ?— Meghan Markle

“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

“Very often the test of one’s allegiance to a cause or to a people is precisely the willingness to stay the course when things are boring, to run the risk of repeating an old argument just one more time, or of going one more round with a hostile or (much worse) indifferent audience.” Christopher Hitchens

12 Quotes that will Inspire Loyalty in Your Life

“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

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor. — Vince Lombardi

“ Reliability is a most wonderful virtue. We should cultivate it. We should be consistent about the things we do, so that others will know they can count on us. But more important, we want to be able to count on ourselves. The greatest pain is to have to disappoint one’s self.” Sterling W. Sill

Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. - Confucius

11 Wise Quotes About Loyalty (WISDOM)

Be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, you build the trust of those who are present. — Stephen Covey

“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

6 Quotes About Loyalty in Politics

5 Quotes About Loyalty in Business and Success

“Loyalty is dead, the experts proclaim, and the statistics seem to bear them out.

We seem to face a future in which the only business relationships will be opportunistic transactions between virtual strangers.” Frederick R. Reichheld

“Employee loyalty begins with employer loyalty. Your employees should know that if they do the job they were hired to do with a reasonable amount of competence and efficiency, you will support them.” Harvey Mackay
