Famous quotes containing the word promise:
“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)

Gied me her promise true;
Gied me her promise true,
Which neer forgot will be;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
Id lay me doune and dee.”
