A good government implies two things: fidelity to the object of government, which is the happiness of the people; secondly, a knowledge of the means by which that object can be best attained

Fidelity is seven-tenths of business success

Thou givest life and love for Greece and Right: I will stand by thee lest thou shouldst be weak, Not weak of soul.--I will but hold in sight Thy marvelous beauty.--Here is She you seek!

Prosperity asks for fidelity; adversity exacts it. [Lat., Poscunt fidem secunda, at adversa exigunt.]

Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money. [Lat., Pretio parata vincitur pretio fides.]

Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
