Promise/society

Famous quotes containing the words promise and/or society:

“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)

“We’re scientists, aren’t we? That’s one society where frayed cuffs don’t matter. We’ve all had ‘em.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
