Approval of what is approved of Is as false as a well-kept vow.
Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.
Men talk as if they believed in God, but they live as if they thought there was none; their vows and promises are no more than words, of course.
Such an act That blurs the grace and blush of modesty; Calls virtue hypocrite; takes off the rose From the fair forehead of an innocent love, And sets a blister there; makes marriage vows As false as dicers' oaths.
Those that vow the most are the least sincere.
Politicians make phony promises all the time that they can't deliver.
All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform; vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one.
There is no such thing as a lovers' oath.
