Promises

Famous quotes containing the word promises:

    Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings to man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination. Anarchism is therefore the teacher of the unity of life; not merely in nature, but in man.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    A person must have a good memory to keep the promises he has made. A person must have a strong imagination to be able to have pity. So closely is morality tied to the quality of the intellect.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilised taste.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
