About This Quote
People make promises that they have every intention of keeping at the time but when it comes to cashing in, suddenly the promise loses all value. It is not uncommon for people to make promises to each other. However, the moment it comes time for action, people often find themselves not being able to keep their word. People often promise things to others yet have no intention of following through once the promise is made.
They may even go out of their way to hurt other people in order to get what they want. This idea has been spoken about in countless ways, but one author put it best when he said, “The greatest sign of love is being able to stay true to your word even when it hurts you.”
