Promise

Famous quotes containing the word promise:

“You have too much of a life yet before you, and have shown too much of promise as an officer, for your future to be lightly surrendered.”

“I have loved her all my youth,
But now old, as you see;
Love likes not the falling fruit
From the withered tree.
Know that love is a careless child
And forgets promise past;
He is blind, he is deaf when he list
And in faith never fast.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

“We laugh and we touch.
I promise you love. Time will not take away that.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
