Famous quotes containing the word promise:

    “I am not sure but all that would tempt me to teach the Indian my religion would be his promise to teach me his.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Early education can only promise to help make the third and fourth and fifth years of life good ones. It cannot insure without fail that any tomorrow will be successful. Nothing “fixes” a child for life, no matter what happens next. But exciting, pleasing early experiences are seldom sloughed off. They go with the child, on into first grade, on into the child’s long life ahead.”
    —James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    “Angela Vickers: Did you promise to be a good boy? Not to waste your time on girls?
    George Eastman: I don’t waste my time.”
    —Michael Wilson (1914–1978)
