About This Quote

It is only possible to betray where loyalty is due. Â Loyalty is something that can’t be bought, because it’s something that you earn. People who are loyal are thankful for the opportunities they have been given, and are thankful for the people who are loyal to them also. They are willing to do anything for them, these people are true friends.
