Faithful Quotations
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
There are three faithful friends - an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.
John F. Kennedy
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.
Lao Tzu
Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.
Newt Gingrich
It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving, it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.
Thomas Paine
Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others.
Erich Fromm
