Those who are faithless know the pleasures of love; it is the faithful who know love's tragedies.

What a fuss people make about fidelity!" exclaimed Lord Henry. "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.

We must do our business faithfully, without trouble or disquiet, recalling our mind to God mildly, and with tranquility, as often as we find it wandering from him.

Believing in our goals to the point of acting upon them as though they are real already is the ultimate test of our faith and faithfulness -- and the ultimate trigger for their realization when the time is right.

Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
