I think the issues of identity mostly are poppycock. We are what we have done, which includes our promises, includes our hopes, but promises first.

Wendell Berry

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

Thomas Brooks

I don't make empty promises.

Mobutu Sese Seko

Peter Drucker

Norman Mailer

Political campaigns are the graveyard of real ideas and the birthplace of empty promises.
