Promise

Famous quotes containing the word promise:

“I promise to be an excellent husband, but give me a wife who, like the moon, will not appear every day in my sky.”

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

“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)
