When you make a promise, keep it.
Keep every promise you make and only make promises you can keep.
You have to be up-front from the very beginning about what your expectations of the other person are, and you can't make any promises you don't intend to keep.
I try to keep my promises.
I'm committed to fulfilling my promises to my people, including my pledge to engage in constructive interaction with the world.
Future peace, prosperity and confidence depend not just on ourselves but on the success of all nations. Hence, we are all partners, no matter what our backgrounds, cultures, faiths and histories.
Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.
Have you ever found any logical reason why mutual promises are sufficient consideration for one another (like the two lean horses of a Calcutta hack who can only just stand together)? I have not.
When you promise something, you must fulfill it.
Never make a promise - you may have to keep it.
