It is not easy for the liberal man to be rich, since he is not apt at either taking or at keeping, but at giving away, and does not value wealth for its own sake, but as a means to giving. – Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, Book IV

Royce believed we must complete a “turning” of sorts to attain true loyalty.
When one judges a cause to be worthwhile and freely embraces such a program, several momentous things happen. The individual’s will is focused and defined in terms of the shared cause. The individual becomes allied with a community of others who are also committed to the same cause. Finally, a morally significant commitment to the cause and to the community develops. This commitment is what Royce calls “loyalty.”
