"A promise must be about actions: no..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“What assurance have we that our masters will or can keep the promise which induced us to sell ourselves? Let us not be deceived by phrases about 'Man taking charge of his own destiny'. All that can really happen is that some men will take charge of the destiny of the others. They will be simply men; none perfect; some greedy, cruel and dishonest. The more completely we are planned the more powerful they will be. Have we discovered some new reason why, this time, power should not corrupt as it has done before?”

“If anyone would like to acquire humility, the first step is to realize one is proud. Nothing can be done before it.”

“We are not the playwright, we are not the producer, we are not even the audience. We are on the stage.”

“Breach of promise is no less an act of insolvency than a refusal to pay one's debt.”

“I wanted us to have a friendly relationship [with Kanye West]. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.”

“Undertake not what you cannot perform, but be careful to keep your promise.”

“The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything. Do not be afraid to make mistakes providing you do not make the same one twice.”

“The deed is everything, the glory is naught.”

“I am teaching you now about it, but how many of you will practice it?”
