 From The25Virtues Survey:

Family and people who have become family taking care of each other no matter what.

If you don't provide loyalty where can trust be found.

You can count on me no matter what the circumstance. "I have your back."

 Loyalty adds a deeper level of commitment to a relationship. Think about it. How many people are you completely loyal to?

Successful, fulfilling (personal and professional) lives are based on strong relationships. This comes from trust, friendship and the security of knowing your friends/colleagues will not intentionally harm your efforts.

Loyalty to those who you care for and for you.

I never want anyone to think I don't care. Friends and love are forever.

Always being true to those you love the most. Loyalty is very important to me and I am 150% loyal to my husband, my parents (my someday children) because if you're not loyal you can't have love, respect, commitment etc with anyone in your life.

Believing in a person or idea. Trusting in something or someone that they are the best.

To be committed to, binding myself , be in allegiance.

Loyalty, friends to have your back, stand by you, help you out... people you are willing to stand up for.

It is good to have people who really truly support you and what you do.
Loyalty shows who your true friends are. If your friends are not loyal to you then they are not good friends.

Allegiance, dedication, and devotion. Being loyal to leaders and others in your institution helps create a stung sort of allegiance to the common goal or institution.

When someone earns your loyalty, it is a person’s responsibility to not waver in that loyalty. It should be expected in return.

Lift up one another, hold true, and defend at all costs.

Being loyal to those who are close to me.

Faithful, devoted, committed. Strengthens a relationship through trust and reliability.

To connect to one without fear and be fierce in that connection. Importance: Loyalty is the biggest step that is visible to another. A fierce connection that is binding and solid shows trust and a deep and profound respect. Loyalty, outside of love, is the greatest gift we can give to another.

Loyalty- WOW! This is present in every aspect of my life! If someone means the world to me, or something is exceptionally important in my life, I will stick by him/her/it with all my heart.......emotionally and verbally.

Remaining true to your loved ones. nothing hurts worse than being betrayed or tossed aside by a person you thought was a friend or guardian.

Backing up close family and friends regardless of their behavioral idiosyncrasies. We all have flaws and never losing sight of that is important
Maintaining stated support through thick and thin until or unless an essential trust is violated.

The deepest virtue someone can entrust to someone else.

Loyalty is about knowing how to stick to things when it is right. That can mean loyalty to people, jobs, places, animals, anything. For me, loyalty is about having the positive selfishness to differentiate between who/what deserves my precious time on earth and who/what don't.

Being true to yourself and your friends. If you can't trust your friends, who can you trust?

Being committed to someone or some action is being loyal. Loyalty is vital for every kind of relationship if it is to succeed.

Whether it be to your friend, family member or yourself. You need to be true to what is around.

Standing by a person you choose to call friend without judgment. To me to have a friend is easy to be one takes loyalty.   

Too often people are discarded. Being loyal means standing by someone through the best and worst.   

Encompasses many of the other virtues.
   Quotations

An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

When you're part of a team, you stand up for your teammates. Your loyalty is to them. You protect them through good and bad, because they'd do the same for you.

One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present.
