Albert CamusI used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.
About This Quote
Loyalty can be a good thing, and it should be rewarded. However, loyalty only works if you’re loyal to the right people. For example, if you're loyal to people who you think will reward you in the long run — let's say as a potential employee or investor — this kind of loyalty can turn out badly because those people may not be as reliable as you think. If you're loyal to those who don't treat you well, this kind of loyalty can turn out badly because those people may not be as loyal as they seem. If you're loyal to those who don't pay you well and only offer you menial jobs that don't go well with your skills and talent, then this kind of loyalty can turn out badly because those people aren't going to reward you in the long run.
