Loyalty that is bought with money, may be overcome by money.
SENECA

Loyalty gives traitors opportunity.
SENECA
Oedipus
Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved.
MARTIN LUTHER
D. Martin Luther's Werke
Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.
WOODROW WILSON
address at Citizenship Convention in Washington, Jul. 13, 1916
To me, loyalty is ethical in and of itself. When we act out of a duty to loyalty we feel like our actions are ethical or moral even if they would conflict with what society prescribes as ethical.
ANGUS HILDRETH
"Is Loyalty A Force For Good Or Evil?", Forbes, January 11, 2016
I find it ironic that the same sense of gang loyalty is forgotten when a gangster ends up in the hospital, locked up in prison, or 6 feet under in a coffin. Are the "brothers" paying for the hospital bills, visiting them in prison every week, putting money on their books, accepting those long distance phone calls or paying for the funeral expenses? Look at history and that sense of loyalty is not what it's made out to be.

"Letter: Justice for Isaiah Vialpando", The Pueblo Chieftain, February 6, 2016
The loyalty, well held to fools, does make
Our faith mere folly.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Antony and Cleopatra
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
J. R. R. TOLKIEN
The Fellowship of the Ring
If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.
ELBERT HUBBARD
Selected Writings of Elbert Hubbard
I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations ... I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?
GRAHAM GREENE
Our Man in Havana
Wherever there is a grain of loyalty there is a glimpse of freedom.
ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE
Ode to Mazzini
Loyalty to an unjust cause is a perversion of honor.
BRIAN HERBERT & KEVIN J. ANDERSON
Dune: House Harkonnen
The loyalty response is staying committed to a relationship despite differences. Loyalty involves hoping that things will get better on their own. Loyalty is silent allegiance, so it is passive. Because loyalty doesn't end a relationship and preserves the option of addressing tension later, loyalty can be constructive. However, loyalty may result in the partner who expresses it feeling ignored and unappreciated.
JULIA T. WOOD
Communication Mosaics: An Introduction to the Field of Communication
Loyalty is dead, the experts proclaim, and the statistics seem to bear them out. On average, U.S. corporations now lose half their customers in five years, half their employees in four, and half their investors in less than one. We seem to face a future in which the only business relationships will be opportunistic transactions between virtual strangers.
FREDERICK F. REICHHELD
The Loyalty Effect
Our earliest ancestors probably learned that loyalty was a valuable survival tool. In the jungle, the desert, or the open plains, loyalty to your tribe increased your chances of surviving harsh weather and an unreliable supply of food and water.
DIANNE M. DURKIN
The Loyalty Advantage
Loyalty is for the dogs. Count me among the cats. And count me twice--once for each of my faces.
JAROD KINTZ

Your idea of fidelity is not having more than one man in bed at the same time.
DIRK BOGARDE
Darling
Where there is loyalty, weapons are of no use.
