Ian Jackson, English Scientist
If a slave is unwilling to go with his new master, he is whipped, or locked up in jail, until he consents to go, and promises not to run away during the year.

It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.
Chief Joseph, Leader
The future is a bright as the promises of God.
Adoniram Judson, American Clergyman (1788-1850)
The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.

Ron Lewis, American Politician (1946-  )
Promises that you make to yourself are often like the Japanese plum tree - they bear no fruit.
Francis Marion, American Soldier
There is only one thing more harmful to society than an elected official forgetting the promises he made in order to get elected; that's when he doesn't forget them.
John McCarthy, American Politician
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms; and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo, Italian Artist (1475-1564)
When one gets old and they are sick, there are not many things they can count on but they should be able to count on Social Security. Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.
Barbara Mikulski, American Politician (1936-  )
Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.
Barbara Mikulski, American Politician (1936-  )
