One word means nothing. Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow. A promise worth a thousand dollars. When a gentleman speaks, his word is final. Golden words and jade words. One word and nine tripods. Breaking promises means failure. Mozi's "Words must be spoken and actions must be carried out", Soong Ching Ling's "Words must be true and actions must be resolute". Keeping promises is like protecting your honor. ——(France) Balzac If you make a mistake, you can get back on your feet immediately; if you break a promise, you may never recover. ——(U.S.) Franklin If you treat people with integrity, they will not bully you; if you treat things with integrity, you will achieve everything. ——(Middle) Feng Yuxiang Credit is both an intangible force and an intangible wealth. ——(Japan) Konosuke Matsushita A person's strict keeping of his promises is more important than guarding his property. ——(France) Molière Credit is like a mirror, as long as there are cracks, it cannot be connected as before. ——(Switzerland) Amir Not all shiny things are gold; not all beautiful words are good words. ——(English) Shakespeare It is better to be trustworthy than to be famous. ——(U.S.) Roosevelt
