Famous quotes containing the words rewards of, rewards, service and/or loyalty:

    The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    Not only do I disbelieve in the need for compensation, but I believe that the seeking for rewards and punishments out of this life leads men to a ruinous ignorance of the fact that their inevitable rewards and punishments are here.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
    Peregrine, Sir Worsthorne (b. 1923)

    Mine honesty and I begin to square.
    The loyalty well held to fools does make
    Our faith mere folly; yet he that can endure
    To follow with allegiance a fall’n lord
    Does conquer him that did his master conquer
    And earns a place i’ the story.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
