Keeping Promises Quotes

The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibilityof being unable to undo what one has doneis the faculty of forgiving. The remedy for unpredictability, for the chaotic uncertainty of the future, is contained in the faculty to make and keep promises. Both faculties depend upon plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no man can forgive himself and no one can be bound by a promise made only to himself. Hannah Arendt
Anthony Hitt quote: "Keep every promise you make and only make promises you can keep."
Keep every promise you make and only make promises you can keep. Anthony Hitt
Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way. Joel Osteen
It was the kind of promise a father makes easily and sincerely, knowing at the same time that it will be impossible to keep. The truth of some promises is not as important as whether or not you can believe in them, with all your heart. A game of baseball can't really make a summer day last forever. A home run can't really heal all the broken places in our world, or in a single human heart. And there was no way that Mr. Feld could keep his promise never to leave Ethan again. All parents leave... Michael Chabon
In the first place, you shouldn't believe in promises. The world is full of them: the promises of riches, of eternal salvation, of infinite love. Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as, I suspect is your case. Those who make promises they don't keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the fate awaits those who believe promises. Paulo Coelho
Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go... But, of course, ceasing to be "in love" need not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second sense? love as distinct from "being in love"? is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriage) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God... "Being in love" first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter... C. S. Lewis
I'm trying to keep" he huffed, shifting his weight as the treetop bounced him"my promise!"I blinked my wet blurry eyes, suddenly sure that I was dreaming."When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie's tree? Stephenie Meyer
Those who make promises they don't keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the same fate awaits those who believe those promises. Paulo Coelho
I once sacrificed my life to keep my parents' promiise. This means nothing to you, because to you promises mean nothing... But later, she will forget her promise. She will forget she had a grandmother. Amy Tan
If people do not believe in permanent marriage, it is perhaps better that they should live together unmarried than that they should make vows they do not mean to keep. It is true that by living together without marriage they will be guilty (in Christian eyes) of fornication. But one fault is not mended by adding another; unchastity is not improved by adding perjury. The idea that 'being in love' is the only reason for remaining married really leaves no room for marriage as a contract or... C. S. Lewis
Graham Greene quote: "In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I..."
In the taxi I let my hand lie on her leg like a promise, but I had no intention of keeping my promise. Graham Greene
Let us keep that promise? that American promise? and in the words of Scripture -- hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess. Barack Obama
I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances. Patricia Heaton
What's important is promising something to the people, not actually keeping those promises. The people have always lived on hope alone. Hermann Broch
I made promises to you that I'm not sure I can keep. None of it has anything to do with you. It's just that I don't know what to do now. You must be thinking what a rotten person I am. Well, believe me, I'm thinking the same thing. I don't know how this happened or why. Maybe I can get over it. Do you think you can wait—because I don't want you to stop loving me. I keep remembering us and how it was. I don't want to hurt you … not ever … Judy Blume
