Famous quotes containing the word promise:

    Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day,
    And make me travel forth without my cloak,
    To let base clouds o’ertake me in my way,
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
