Promise

Famous quotes containing the word promise:

“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)

“There is nothing man will not attempt when great enterprises hold out the promise of great rewards.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)

“Smiling half-reluctance seems to promise more than the frankest gesture of desire.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
