Loyalty Pledge
Adapted from Love, Life & Work
By Elbert Green Hubbard (1906)

If you work for a man, in heavens name work for him,

Speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents.

Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

If you must growl, condemn and eternally find fault,

Why, resign your position.

And then when you are outside, damn to your heart's content.

But as long as you are a part of that institution, do not condemn it.

For if you do, the first high wind that comes along
Will blow you away, and probably you will never know why.
Katapatan Ba'y Ano King 'Di Ka Rin Man Lang Tapat
(Tagalog Adaptation - Anonymous)
Kung Maglilingkod ka sa isang tao, sa nglan ng langit paglingkuran mo siya,
Ipagkapuri mo siya at manindigan sa institusyon na kanyang kinakatawan.
Alalahanin mo na ang isang butil ng katapatan ay kasinghalaga ng isang kabang katalinuhan.

Kung kinakailangan mong magsuwail, manuligsa at mamintas ng walang hanggang aba,

Magbitiw sa tungkulin at kapag tiwalag ka na ay saka magtungayaw ng buong kasiyahan mo.
Ngunit habang ikaw ay bahagi ng isang institusyon, huwag mo itong lapastanganin.
Kapag ginawa mo iyan ay papalisin ka ng unang unos na daratal
At marahil kailanman ay hindi mo na matatalos pa kung bakit.
