William Shakespeare on Promises

“Thy promises are like Adonis' gardens That one day bloomed and fruitful were the next.”

“His promises were, as he then was, mighty; But his performance, as he is now, nothing.”

“And be these juggling fiends no more believ'd, That palter with us in a double sense: That keep the word of promise to our ear, And break it to our hope.”
