Promised

Famous quotes containing the word promised:

“He promised he’d get me out of this one,
That mean old cartoonist, but just look what he’s
Done to me now! I scarce dare approach me mug’s attenuated
Reflection in yon hubcap, so jaundiced, so déconfit
Are its lineaments....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“So, Willy, let you and me be wipers
Of scores out with all men—especially pipers;
And, whether they pipe us free, from rats or from mice,
If we’ve promised them aught, let us keep our promise.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“He promised to meet me two hours since, and he was ever precise in promise-keeping.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
