Hello, Hello! Welcome to Quotable Sunday. I love seeing my regulars here and hope we can all spread the word and get some newbies to join in. I know there are more than us out there who love to share quotes. This week my quotes are on Promises.
Promises are like babies: easy to make, hard to deliver. ~Author Unknown
Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. ~Hannah Arendt
Half the promises people say were never kept, were never made. ~Edgar Watson Howe
We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears. ~Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld
Thou ought to be nice, even to superstition, in keeping thy promises, and therefore equally cautious in making them. ~Thomas Fuller
Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once. ~Norman Vincent Peale
I am a BIG believer in you keep the promises you make, if you can keep them don’t make them, very plain and simple. I know in some rare instances things keep you from keeping your promises but more often than not it’s selfishness that keeps people from keeping their promise. So again I say don’t make a promise or give your word if you are going to go back on it.
Link up your quotes posts below and I will be over to check the out later. Happy Sunday everyone!

Love your quotes! I’m the same way….if you can keep a promise, Don’t make it.
Also, I tried to link up twice….I don’t see it working. So, here’s my link:

Very good quotes! Promises are important! I like all the quotes you have today.
These are great. I especially like the first one. I try to avoid making too many promises, because I tend to get all ADD and forget what I said. However, the promises I have made, like my wedding vows, I take deadly seriously.
