Promises Quotes

Science has always promised two things not necessarily related; an increase first in our powers, second in our happiness or wisdom, and we have come to realize that it is the first and less important of the two promises which it has kept most abundantly Picture Quote #1

Father sticks to it that anything that promises to pay too much can’t help being risky Picture Quote #1

Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes Picture Quote #1

The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation Picture Quote #1

Promises to get beyond partisanship are the most perfunctory sort of campaign rhetoric, almost as empty as the partisanship itself Picture Quote #1

Those promises we make to ourselves when we are younger, about how we mean to conduct our adult lives, can it be true we break every last one of them? All except for one, I suppose: the promise to judge ourselves by those standards, the promise to remember the child who would be so appalled by compromise, the child who would find jadedness wicked Picture Quote #1

Something always happens. You still have to promise stuff anyway. If you have to work to make the promises true... it’s like a spell. You have to say the words every time you want the results Picture Quote #1

Absolute power corrupts absolutely; and if you surrender your personal responsibility to a government which promises to take care of you, they will only take care of themselves Picture Quote #1

We don’t go to the ocean for anything as simple as happiness, do we? We go there to feel alive. Like life, the ocean holds chance and change, grief and terror and beauty. It promises mortality, not peace Picture Quote #1

In this life, no matter what anyone promises you, what allegiances of love or fealty they swear or what gods they pray to, you will never have more than what you have at this moment Picture Quote #1

It was not despair, but it seemed to her as if life were passing by, leaving its promises broken and unfulfilled. Yet there were other days when she listened, was led on and deceived by fresh promises which her youth had held out to her Picture Quote #1

School has become the world religion of a modernized proletariat, and makes futile promises of salvation to the poor of the technological age Picture Quote #1

It was one of the warm nights at the end of summer that makes promises that won’t be kept Picture Quote #1

Utopianism substitutes glorious predictions and unachievable promises for knowledge, science, and reason, while laying claim to them all Picture Quote #1

Never believe a promise from a man or woman who has no discipline. They have broken a thousand promises to themselves, and they break their promise for you Picture Quote #1

We have become a sloppy bunch of people. We say things we don’t mean. We make promises we don’t keep Picture Quote #1

Therefore, philosophy does not give sense in mind happiness. It keeps in mind the only truth. However, it is very possible that the truth may be painful, may be distressing, may be destructive of happiness or makes it impossible. Religion, unlike philosophy, is under the category of the useful one. It promises happiness and says what it is necessary to do and what it is necessary to be to deserve or to obtain it. Consequently, illusion is more important than truth if it gets happiness Picture Quote #1

Good words will not give my people good health and stop them from dying. Good words will not get my people a home where they can live in peace and take care of themselves. I am tired of talk that comes to nothing. It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and broken promises Picture Quote #1

Don’t make promises unless you will keep them. Not plan to keep them. Will keep them. Reliability is one of the keys to any good relationship, and good customer service is no exception Picture Quote #1

I am for the world’s salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help Picture Quote #1

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye. My dear, you are in my heart. Predestined separation promises a future meeting Picture Quote #1

You can make a thousand promises to yourself that you’ll take that same fantastic love and give it to someone else, but the moment you see that person with someone else, it’s like a gut full of razorblades. It never gets easier. And it shouldn’t, really Picture Quote #1

Thus, our national circulating medium is now at the mercy of loan transactions of banks, which lend, not money, but promises to supply money they do not possess Picture Quote #1

The rules of workplace democracy are founded in solidarity and mutual trust. They are at the core of a historic process which promises to introduce a new economy, and thereby a new society, after capitalism Picture Quote #1

To become informed and hold government accountable, the general public needs to obtain news that is comprehensive yet interesting and understandable, that conveys facts and outcomes, not cosmetic images and airy promises. But that is not what the public demands Picture Quote #1

Thus, the question of how and when to start vagabonding is not really a question at all. Vagabonding starts now. Even if the practical reality of travel is still months or years away, vagabonding begins the moment you stop making excuses, start saving money, and begin to look at maps with the narcotic tingle of possibility. From here, the reality of vagabonding comes into sharper focus as you adjust your worldview and begin to embrace the exhilarating uncertainty that true travel promises Picture Quote #1

For those of us who take literature very seriously, picking up a work of fiction is the start of an adventure comparable in anticipatory excitement to what I imagine is felt by an athlete warming up for a competition, a mountain climber preparing for the ascent: it is the beginning of a process whose outcome is unknown, one that promises the thrill and elation of success but may as easily end in bitter disappointment. Committed readers realize at a certain point that literature is where we have learned a good part of the little we know about living Picture Quote #1

Fantasy is, at its best, the purest access to storytelling that we have. It universalizes a tale, it evokes wonder and timeless narrative power, it touches upon inner journeys, it illuminates our collective and individual pasts, throws a focus beam on the present day, and presages the dangers and promises of the future Picture Quote #1

There must appear a spiritual and moral leadership rising above economic and political situations. Governments in both their domestic and foreign policies appeal for popular support by promises of material gain. We cannot make peace by mere appeal to greed. We must give the peoples of the world something to live for as well as something to live on Picture Quote #1

We talk about the quality of product and service. What about the quality of our relationships and the quality of our communications and the quality of our promises to each other? Picture Quote #1
