Promise Quotes

“It’s okay to feel whatever you need to feel. Just promise me that you will never, ever feel guilty. Promise me that you will never blame yourself. It’s not your fault.

And as much as you’ll want to forget these things ever happened to you and as much as you’ll want to forget this part of your life existed, I need for you to remember.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“This never happens again," I said quietly. "You try to get to me through other mortals again and I'll kill you."

Mavra's rotted lips turned up at one corner. "No, you won't," she said in her dusty voice. "You don't have that kind of power."

"I can get it," I said.

"But you won't," she responded, mockery in her tone. "It wouldn't be right."

I stared at her for a full ten seconds before I said, in a very quiet voice, "I've got a fallen angel tripping all over herself to give me more power. Queen Mab has asked me to take the mantle of Winter Knight twice now. I've read Kemmler's book. I know how the Darkhallow works. And I know how to turn necromancy against the Black Court."

Mavra's filmed eyes flashed with anger.

I continued to speak quietly, never raising my voice. "So once again, let me be perfectly clear. If anything happens to Murphy and I even think you had a hand in it, fuck right and wrong. If you touch her, I'm declaring war on you. Personally. I'm picking up every weapon I can get. And I'm using them to kill you. Horribly.”
― Jim Butcher, Dead Beat

“In everything, depend upon yourself, but work in harmony with all things. Do not depend even upon the Infinite, but learn to work and live in harmony with the Infinite.

“It was like dawn, and then dusk cascading over the Himalayas. First, the gradual brightening over snow and contour, then the shining, sparkling sun mirrored; and then as the moment of joy passed – the lingering colour-changing light; reluctant to leave. That faint, bittersweet almost-light, and then indigo outlines and inky black.”
― Radhika Mukherjee, Our Particular Shadows

“Human nature, at its best, had always been based on a deep heroic restlessness, on wanting something--something else, something more, whether it be true love or a glimpse just beyond the horizon.

― Jen Stephens, The Heart's Journey Home

“Today’s man should do more than just talk; he should act. He should do more than just promise; he should deliver.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

“A favor is a friendly, gracious, kind, generous or obliging act that is freely granted. It is offered and not solicited.

A promise is a declaration assuring that one will or will not do something. It is a vow to commit oneself by a promise to do or give. It is a pledge: to make a declaration assuring that something will or will not be done.

When you assume and mistook favor for a promise, then misunderstanding comes in.

Learn to distinguish clearly between a favor and a promise to avoid false expectations, blind hopes and deep disappointments.

Never demand on favours given.
Never impose on mistaken promises.
Never put under pressure the people who have given you favor.

Have a humble and grateful heart for both favors and promises fulfilled.”
― Angelica Hopes
