I love my country, not my government.Jesse Ventura
2
The slaves in Rome were incapable of leisure and so their masters gave them entertainment to keep them pacified.Oliver DeMille
3
I no longer feel any allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despise being one myself.Suzanne Collins

Whether right or wrong, it is my belief that Christian colleges place their emphasis not on that which divides us, but on the substance that binds us together. That commonality is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He commanded us to love one another–to set aside our differences and to care for “the least of these” among us. It is our unity, not our diversity, that deserves our allegiance.James C. Dobson
5
Calling resists privatization by insisting on the totality of faith. Calling resists politicization by demanding a tension with every human allegiance and association. Calling resists polarization by requiring an attitude toward, and action in, society that is inevitably transforming because it is constantly engaged. Grand Christian movements will rise and fall. Grand campaigns will be mounted and grand coalitions assembled. But all together such coordinated efforts will never match the influence of untold numbers of followers of Christ living out their callings faithfully across the vastness and complexity of modern society.Os Guinness
6
Consider intentions carefully. Karma gives a damn about ego, awards allegiance to none, and its justice is truly blind.T.F. Hodge
7
Place your allegiance and respect in what is everlasting and real, not in the transitory and false.Bryant McGill
8
Many pride themselves, staking claim to the noble virtue that is loyalty. However, many resolve to give their allegiance to nothing. How can one demand loyalty, if one stands by nothing, nor commits to the realization of an ideal?Unknown

Truth is a tyrant-the only tyrant to whom we can give our allegiance. The service of truth is a matter of heroism.John F. Kennedy
10
Who stands fast? Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, his principles, his conscience, his freedom, or his virtue, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God- the responsible man, who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God. Where are these responsible people? .Dietrich Bonhoeffer
11
Instead of narrowing our allegiances to only include our favored nation, let us sing an anthem to the marvelous human being.Bryant McGill
12
Commitment is a promise to a cause. Being non-committal is a promise to catastrophe.Craig D. Lounsbrough
13
The true object of loyalty is a good legal constitution, which, as it condemns every instance of oppression and lawless power, derives a certain remedy to the sufferer by allowing him to remonstrate his grievances, and pointing out methods of relief when the gentle arts of persuasion have lost their efficacy.Samuel Adams
14
Always try to align your loyalties and commitment with the largest scope of the context you find yourself in. For example, if you work for a department in a company, align yourself with the company–not the department; if you are in an army platoon, align yourself with the army.Clifford Cohen
15
We must choose our allegiances carefully, for there is no going back on them.Jayne Castel
16
My loyalties will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation's history, or limited in the spiritual dimension by one language and culture. I pledge my allegiance to the damned human race, and my everlasting love to the green hills of Earth, and my intimations of glory to the singing stars, to the very end of space and time.Edward Abbey
