Promise

Famous quotes containing the word promise:

“You’re gonna take the rap and play along. You’re gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you don’t, I’ll kill you. And I’ll promise you one thing, it won’t be quick. I’ll break you first.

—Geoffrey Homes (1902–1977)

“I promise you, but for your company,
I would have been a-bed an hour ago.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
