It is not until an act occurs within the landscape of the past and future that it is a human act. Loyalty, which asserts the continuity of past and future, binding time into a whole, is the root of human strength; there is no good to be done without it. Anonymous
About This Quote

Loyalty is the bond that makes us human. Without it, we would all be nothing more than animals, bound by the instincts of our ancestors. Only with loyalty do we become people. Loyalty is the only thing that can bind man against man, to connect us to what has happened in the past and what will happen in the future. Loyalty binds our lives together, uniting past and future into one continuous flow.
