Charles Jones once said this, "Loyalty is something you give regardless of what you get back."
I believe that you should always show loyalty and give respect to people, regardless of the predicament you and that person may be in. My grandmother used to repeat this quote to me several times when I was a child. Being loyal is not only being there for someone, it is keeping promises and staying faithful. You should be loyal, and respect people, no matter what you will receive, or earn, in the end. It could make an impact on someone without you or that person knowing. Showing respect and faithfulness may cause another person to do the same. You gain respect from others by being loyal to every person, place, and thing. Treating others the way you want to be treated is one of the main rules I live by. That, I think, shows great respect, responsibility, integrity, and loyalty in yourself, and others, which relates to my quote. I try to repeat my grandmothers voice in my head saying this quote everyday. It gives me a sense to look at what I can do to change things in my life, and others'.
Thoughtful posts from the great minds in Mrs. Dupuy's English I Honors classes.
I agree with this 100%. There are very few loyal people these days, but it deffinitely shouldn't stop anyone else from being loyal. I think this is a great quote, and I can relate to it myself. Even though I may not get it in return I try to be as loyal as possible to those around me.
