Fidelity is
seven-tenths of business success.
-- James Parton
Constancy has
nothing virtuous in itself, independently of the pleasure it
confers, and partakes of the temporizing spirit of vice in
proportion as it endures tamely moral defects of magnitude
in the object of its indiscreet choice.
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
1792-1822, British Poet
People who
love only once in their lives are shallow people. What they
call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the
lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to
the life of the intellect -- simply a confession of
failures.
-- Oscar Wilde
1856-1900, British Author,
Wit
What a fuss
people make about fidelity! Why, even in love it is purely a
question for physiology. It has nothing to do with our own
will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not; old men
want to be faithless, and cannot: that is all one can say.
-- Oscar Wilde
