Russell BanksWe are intensely loyal to our parents. In spite of the pain we experienced at our parent's hands, we cling tenaciously to their views of life; and their examples of what it is to be a man or a woman follow us throughout life. Acknowledging the power of our loyalty to them, and especially our loyalty to our same-sex parent, is only the beginning of our journey to improve upon their model; but it is at least a first step.

Ronald ReaganItโs as if your kind needs adversity in order to achieve. (Leta) No, we donโt.

Thatโs why Iโve withdrawn from this world.

I think that employee is a loyal employee for Facebook and I think more companies should want that kind of loyalty.

Denis ThatcherA paradigm is a powerful theoretical and methodological framework which defines the working lives of thousands of intelligent and disciplined minds. And paradigms do not attract the loyalty of such minds unless they 'work'.

Just as a good workman never blames his tools, so the diligent student never blames his paradigm

In any society, be it in Western or Muslim-majority countries, our duty is that of critical loyalty: Staying loyal to our countries by always being critically engaged in the name of the principles of justice, equality and human brotherhood.
