Famous quotes containing the word oath:

    “The oath of a lover is no stronger than the word of a
    tapster; they are both the confirmer of false reckonings.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Whoever has had the experience of the moral sentiment cannot choose but believe in unlimited power. Each pulse from that heart is an oath from the Most High. I know not what the word sublime means, if it be not the intimations, in this infant, of a terrific force.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “On principle I dislike an oath which requires a man to swear he has not done wrong. It rejects the Christian principle of forgiveness on terms of repentance. I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
