Keeping Promises quotes by Mackenzie King
Integrity is conforming reality to our words - in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations. ~ Stephen Covey
Keeping Promises quotes by Stephen Covey
The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Keeping Promises quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
As we make and keep commitments, even small commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and others, little by little, our honor becomes greater than our moods. ~ Stephen Covey
Keeping Promises quotes by Stephen Covey
Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.
"Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. ~ John Green

Promises may fit the friends, but non performance will turn them into enemies. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Keeping Promises quotes by Benjamin Franklin
If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. ~ Barack Obama
Keeping Promises quotes by Barack Obama
Hermes's shoulders sagged. "They'll try, Percy. Oh, we'll all try to keep our promise. And maybe for a while things will get better. But we gods have never been good at keeping oaths. You were born because of a broken promise, eh? Eventually we'll become forgetful. We always do."
"You can change."
Hermes laughed. "After three thousand years, you think the gods can change their nature?"
"Yeah," I said. "I do. ~ Rick Riordan
Keeping Promises quotes by Rick Riordan
We all should practice to tell the truth and keep our promises, rather than trying to calculate possible pleasures, pains, and outcomes of our sayings in certain circumstances. Because we know that in general telling the truth and keeping promises will result in more happiness than lying and breaking promises. ~ Prabidh
Keeping Promises quotes by Prabidh
When a man takes an oath ... he's holding his own self in his own hands. Like water. ~ Robert Bolt
Keeping Promises quotes by Robert Bolt
It's better not to make a promise than to make one you can't keep. ~ V.C. Andrews
Keeping Promises quotes by V.C. Andrews
It's useless to hold a person to anything he says wile he's in love, drunk, or running for office. ~ Shirley Maclaine
Keeping Promises quotes by Shirley Maclaine
Deliver more than you promise. ~ Patricia Ryan Madson
Keeping Promises quotes by Patricia Ryan Madson
There is nothing God loves more that keeping promises, answering prayers, performing miracles, and fulfilling dreams. ~ Mark Batterson
Keeping Promises quotes by Mark Batterson
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise. ~ William Dean Howells
Keeping Promises quotes by William Dean Howells
Making promises to myself, in my personal writing practice, has been important to me all my life. In practical application it is so much easier for me to make promises to others, and keep them, than it is to make promises to myself. "Why is that?" and the answer I gave myself is that in making promises to others I create a model of accountability and reinforcement. I duplicate that in my writing and have grown increasingly better at making and keeping promises to myself. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
Keeping Promises quotes by Mary Anne Radmacher
The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition. ~ Carl Jung
Keeping Promises quotes by Carl Jung
When a man repeats a promise again and again, he means to fail you. ~ Edmund Fuller
Keeping Promises quotes by Edmund Fuller
The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves precedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves. ~ Stephen R. Covey
Keeping Promises quotes by Stephen R. Covey
There is nothing God loves more than keeping promises, answering prayers, performing miracles, and fulfilling dreams. That is who He is. That is what He does. And the bigger the circle we draw, the better, because God gets more glory. ~ Mark Batterson
Keeping Promises quotes by Mark Batterson
You have celebrities who are pushed to the brink of a public meltdown, and so the public thinks that every person in the public eye has dirty secrets that they're keeping, or isn't what they seem, or is masking it and faking sincerity, faking authenticity, faking being surprised at award shows when you win a Grammy. ~ Taylor Swift
Keeping Promises quotes by Taylor Swift
I want to keep you. I want to lock you up and not let anyone near you. I don't want others touching you, I don't want them to smell you. I want you hidden and safe. I want to hoard you and never share you with anyone again. I would shape my entire life around your every want and desire, around pleasing you and satisfying you, keeping you where I am not just the centre of your world but all of it. ~ Megan Derr
Keeping Promises quotes by Megan Derr
We're looking at a huge gap between what an entire generation thinks is going to happen during its retirement years and the funds that are there - or, more accurately, are not there - to make good on all those promises. ~ John C. Goodman
Keeping Promises quotes by John C. Goodman
Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes. ~ Herbert
Keeping Promises quotes by Herbert
I will never endanger you. Never harm you. Never neglect you in any way. You will never want for anything that is necessary to keeping you happy and alive. I will treasure you every day that I draw a breath and thank God every night for the gift of you in my life. No one can ever care for you the way I do. I was made for you and you were made for me. I know that with the certainty that there is a sun, moon and stars that can never guide me through this life the way following you through it will lead me to an eternity of happiness. You've quickly become my everything." ~ Adam ~ Jessie Lane
Keeping Promises quotes by Jessie Lane
There was no closure to be had, just jail time in my head. What's he doing? What's he thinking? Does he still love me? Does he love her more? Is he thinking that he made a mistake? It doesn't matter, because the cold hard truth was that he didn't love me enough to want to be with me. It took me a while, but I ultimately realized that I had to physically separate myself from all the things that were keeping me stuck inside my obsessive mind. ~ Greg Behrendt
Keeping Promises quotes by Greg Behrendt
Was the government to prescribe us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now. - Thomas Jefferson ~ Thomas Jefferson
Keeping Promises quotes by Thomas Jefferson
I've heard that Vlad the Impaler established without a doubt that having a stick up one's ass was detrimental to one's health. And I am very interested in keeping you healthy. ~ Patricia Briggs
Keeping Promises quotes by Patricia Briggs
Mangling my racket and an odd swearword on the court is not something I am proud of and it shouldn't happen, but even my coaches have told me that it's sometimes better to let it all out, the anger inside you, because keeping it bottled would just eat you up in the long term. ~ Novak Djokovic
Keeping Promises quotes by Novak Djokovic
You must start with desire, keeping in mind that with the magic of believing you can obtain what you picture in your mind's eye. ~ Claude M. Bristol
Keeping Promises quotes by Claude M. Bristol
God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises ... ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Keeping Promises quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I stopped keeping an eye out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve because, when I was five, my mother told me that Santa was a wicked pervert who would cut off my peepee with a pair of scissors ... if I didn't stop chattering about him, he would be certain to put me on his list and look me up.
Christmas was never the same after that, but at least I still have my peepee. ~ Dean Koontz
Keeping Promises quotes by Dean Koontz
If we marvel at God's law, our core essence delights in keeping it. ~ Glenda Mathes
Keeping Promises quotes by Glenda Mathes
Especially for those of us who lived in single cells, you had the time to sit down and think, and we discovered that sitting down just to think is one of the best ways of keeping yourself fresh and able, to be able to address the problems facing you, and you had the opportunity, also, of examining your past. ~ Nelson Mandela
Keeping Promises quotes by Nelson Mandela
If you give voters a choice between a Democrat who promises to do nothing and a Republican who promises to do nothing, they're generally going to side with the Republican, because they're better at that than we are. ~ Martin O'Malley
Keeping Promises quotes by Martin O'Malley
It's different ... isn't it? Perry will know I left to protect him - won't he? You saw how many people left ... because of me. None of this would have happened if I hadn't been there in the first place. I had to leave."
Roar nodded. "It's still going to hurt."
Aria pressed the heels of her hands to her eyes, keeping back the tears. [He] was right. When it came to pain, reasons didn't matter. ~ Veronica Rossi
Keeping Promises quotes by Veronica Rossi
I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life and knowing themselves that there was no mystery. ~ Isak Dinesen
Keeping Promises quotes by Isak Dinesen
I let my sword slip to the ground, and for the second time I stood unarmed in the presence of werewolves.

Kresh put his lips to my forehead, and my skin burned beneath his kiss. When his hands repositioned to take me by the waist, my breathing - already shallow - ceased entirely. Then his lips fell on mine and I was suddenly everything he claimed me to be - his mate, his wife, his world.

The taste of him seemed mysteriously new and old at the same time. Every bit of tension eased as if internally I had come home again, and yet a sense of foreignness made our connection a sweet venture. My breast was afire as he continued to grasp my hips, keeping me close. I burned for him as if vampire venom were coursing through every inch of me.

The man was a constellation of suns in my desire, unlike Thaddeus who hardly equaled a speck of stardust. The thought of that coward reminded me of grim news. It took every bit of willpower I possessed to tear my lips away from what they craved, and yet I remained a submissive puddle in this werewolf's arms. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Keeping Promises quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Now that Janet and Frances were older, Grandpa would let them visit him in his study, where the parrot lived. Grandpa came from a long line of parrot-keeping men, and Polly's predecessor, a white cockatoo, had fought with Wellington's armies in the Napoleonic Wars. Janet's father's earliest memories were of the astonishing oaths known to this bird, who was then a hundred and two years old and spoke in ripe gamey accents long since gone from the world of men. Grandpa believed that there must be a fair number of such long-lived birds in Scotland - even perhaps in England - and it would have been a fine thing to have them all gathered in a great dining hall, invoking ghostly midshipmen and dragoons, violent drinkers and merry rhymesters, perhaps even occasionally a lady of refinement. This, he said, would afford a historical experience of rare value; indeed, ancient parrots should be fêted and cultivated as true archivists. ~ Elspeth Barker
Keeping Promises quotes by Elspeth Barker
We who are dominant tend to think of that aspect of being a werewolf as rank: who is obeyed, who is to obey. Dominant and submissive. But it is also who is to protect and who is to be protected. A submissive wolf is not incapable of protecting himself: he can fight, he can kill as readily as any other. But a submissive doesn't feel the need to fight
not the way a dominant does. They are a treasure in a pack. A source of purpose and of balance. Why does a dominant exist? To protect those beneath him, but protecting a submissive is far more rewarding because a submissive will never wait until you are wounded or your back is turned to see if you are truly dominant to him. Submissive wolves can be trusted. And they unite the pack with the goal of keeping them safe and cared for. ~ Patricia Briggs
Keeping Promises quotes by Patricia Briggs
We write every day, we fight every day, we think and scheme and dream a little dream every day. manuscripts pile up in the kitchen sink, run-on sentences dangle around our necks. we plant purple prose in our gardens and snip the adverbs only to thread them in our hair. we write with no guarantees, no certainties, no promises of what might come and we do it anyway. this is who we are. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Keeping Promises quotes by Tahereh Mafi
Style ain't nothing but keeping the same idea from beginning to end. Everybody got it. ~ August Wilson
Keeping Promises quotes by August Wilson
Keeping at heart that quote, I can say with all surety that everything everyone paints Mr. Ellison out to be, everything they describe they see when they look at him is purely a reflection of their own sickness and degeneracy. Everything they accuse him of and say is wrong; they would do in a heartbeat, and are doing, but just not in such magnitude. The rich and the poor both sin, the poor man just hates that the rich man can afford better quality... in most cases. ~ Avra Amar Filion
Keeping Promises quotes by Avra Amar Filion
There are times when I'm super-overwhelmed, and everything feels like it's hitting me in the face at once, but I think what's keeping me calm, and who I am by staying true to myself, is my whole family being so supportive and keeping me grounded. They treat me the exact same way they treated me years and years ago. ~ Shawn Mendes
Keeping Promises quotes by Shawn Mendes
Oh yeah, and how do I know that? Because from where I stand, if you hadn't stepped in, I think he might have."
He laughed. "Damien doesn't even know what he's doing. He spiked your drink because he was nervous - why do you think he backed down so easily?"
"So that makes it all okay, does it?" I snapped. "Because he was too nervous to get laid for the first time the simple, safe way? That's petty and sick..." Then something occurred to me. "But why me?"
Brett dropped his gaze to his tan suede hiking boots. He paused and tapped a toe against the linoleum.
"Brett?" I snapped, knowing he was keeping something from me.
"I may have suggested he talk to you," he murmured.
"What? Oh for fuck's sake!"
"Damien wouldn't have hurt you, Colt. ~ Shaye Evans
Keeping Promises quotes by Shaye Evans
It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney. ~ Kevin Keegan
Keeping Promises quotes by Kevin Keegan
The poet, as everyone knows, must strike his individual note sometime between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. He may hold it a long time, or a short time, but it is then that he must strike it or never. School and college have been conducted with the almost express purpose of keeping him busy with something else till the danger of his ever creating anything is past. ~ Robert Frost
Keeping Promises quotes by Robert Frost
My fashion resolution for 2015 is to continue to be inspired by all of the great designers of the past and present while keeping true to my style and myself. ~ Bella Hadid
Keeping Promises quotes by Bella Hadid
I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought. Giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I'm capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think, and they still love me, and I've concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is me ~ Adam Savage
Keeping Promises quotes by Adam Savage
The universe is just there; that's the only way a Fedaykin can view it and remain the master of his senses. The universe neither threatens nor promises. It holds things beyond our sway: the fall of a meteor, the eruption of a spiceblow, growing old and dying. These are the realities of this universe and they must be faced regardless of how you feel about them. You cannot fend off such realities with words. They will come at you in their own wordless way and then, then you will understand what is meant by "life and death." Understanding this, you will be filled with joy. - MUAD'DIB TO HIS FEDAYKIN ~ Frank Herbert
Keeping Promises quotes by Frank Herbert
We all must travel,' the driver said, keeping his eyes on the way ahead. His hands grasped the wheel firmly. 'It is the essence of all things, to move and change and keep going forward and backward and around. Even the spirits and the dead. ~ Nnedi Okorafor
