Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
loyalty or commitment is my one word answer, yet it is very deep. Someone (and from me also) who actually tries to understand and stick with you despite the mistakes. Having said that most of my friends, I have known more than 20 years
commitment. I like a person who stands by their word as much as possible. *********** I also like what Bright Mist said. it had genuine feeling in the words.
Integrity - in which honesty, compassion, tolerance and a sense of humour play significant parts. And yes, I know I cheated, I look for more than one quality.
