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.
Your personal brand is a promise to your clients. . . a promise of quality, consistency, competency, and reliability.
Where there is an unknowable, there is a promise.
There's no dishonor in being forced by a superior power into slavery, but it is an eternal disgrace to voluntarily surrender one's liberty for a filthy bowl of oatmeal and promise of security by liars.

Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing. . . but Paris, Paris drew me close to her heart, so I forgot myself entirely.

The good news is that “The Hangover Part III” isn’t a rerun like the second episode. The bad news is everything else. For all the promise of mayhem and WTF moments, the final episode hits you with all the force of a warm can of O’Doul’s.
Those who sage as they age view aging not as a hardship but, rather, as a precious gift filled with promise and replete with possibilities.

But have we Holy Ghost power-power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?
I can promise you that women working together - linked, informed and educated - can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.
This is what we are made for: promises, pledges, and sworn oaths of obedience.
I would sooner walk in the dark, and hold hard to a promise of my God, than trust in the light of the brightest day that ever dawned.
Get masters of families to do their duty, and they will not only spare you a great deal of labor, but will much further the success of your labors. You are not like to see any general reformation, till you procure family reformation. Some little religion there may be, here and there; but while it is confined to single persons, and is not promoted in families, it will not prosper, nor promise much future increase.
Ruthless trust ultimately comes down to this: faith in the person of Jesus and hope in his promise.
Did you know that Allah promises you a seat in Paradise if you kill a Christian?
Prayer irrigates the fields of life with the waters which are stored up in the reservoirs of promise.
If you are nice, and keep your promise, we will be in paradise.
