Promise

Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Beauty is the promise of happiness

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey

Rarely promise, but, if lawful, constantly perform.

On the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend's life also, in our own, to the world.
