William Hazlitt, English Critic (1778-1830)
You don't repair that relationship by sitting down and talking about trust or making promises. Actually, what rebuilds it is living it and doing things differently - and I think that is what is going to make the difference.

Keep every promise you make and only make promises you can keep.
Anthony Hitt, American Businessman

Ian Jackson, English Scientist
