A verbal promise behind closed doors, even a statement written on paper-these could easily evaporate . . . .

Suzanne Collins

This contract is so one-sided that I am astonished to find it written on both sides of the paper.

Raymond Evershed, 1st Baron Evershed

Of course a politician's promise isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Russell Pearce

It is with government paper, and bank paper, as it is with the paper of private persons; that is, it is worth just what can be delivered in redemption of it, and no more. We all understand that the notes of the Astors, and Stewarts, and Vanderbilts, though issued by millions, and tens of millions, are really worth their nominal values.

Lysander Spooner

WWE offered me a legends deal. My lawyer looked at it, and it's basically illegal. It's not worth the paper that it's written on.

Scott Steiner

A five-year contract is worth no more than a six-month contract these days; it's very concerning.

Niko Kovac

Opinion polls are not worth the paper they are written on, in my view, through the conference season. They don't settle down again until November.

Norman Tebbit

I love music. But I'm not gonna work myself to death. If there ever comes a point where I'm not enjoying it, then I'm not gonna do it anymore. I've promised myself that. I've written it down on paper and signed a contract.

Solange Knowles

We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. The paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. To those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. The wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.

Ramana Maharshi

It is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is backed by the kind of force that will make the other side consider the penalties too heavy to break the agreement.

Yitzhak Rabin

I'm superstitious about the paper that I use, for example. I've written all my novels on a paper of a particular size with lines of a particular distance apart and with two holes in the paper for the folder clip.

Philip Pullman

The moon people do not eat by swallowing food but by smelling it. Their money is poetry - actual poems, written out on pieces of paper whose value is determined by the worth of the poem itself.

Paul Auster

I had to get back to work... NBC has me under contract; the baby and I only have a verbal agreement.

Tina Fey

In exorcism, a verbal argument can never do anything. You can't ever beat the entity in a verbal argument because that's what he wants. It's only through a confront, a non-verbal confront, that anything happens. It has to be non-verbal.

William S. Burroughs

How do you commemorate a year? A paper anniversary, but we are the words written down, not the paper.

David Levithan

I had it in my contract with CBS, a very weird clause that was never written before and certainly not since, that if I wanted to do a variety show within the first five years of the contract, CBS would have to put it on for 30 shows.
