We Americans have the great gifts of freedom and democracy, but it has been our education system that has fulfilled the
promise of democracy.
James E. Rogers
The prison industrial complex, to put it in its crassest term, is a system of industrial mass incarceration. So there's
what you call bureaucratic thrust behind it. It's hard to shut off because politicians rely upon the steady flow of jobs to
their district that the prison system and its related industries promise.
Eugene Jarecki
We promised new benefits to seniors like preventive screening and diabetes testing. We kept that promise.
Mike Rogers
My manager's biggest dream is for me to be on Letterman. She says, 'Oh, Maggie, will you promise me you'll be on
'Letterman?'' What can I say? I just tell her I can't promise, but I'll try my best.
Maggie Q
New drugs and surgical techniques offer promise in the fight against cancer, Alzheimer's, tuberculosis, AIDS, and a host of
other life-threatening diseases. Animal research has been, and continues to be, fundamental to advancements in medicine.
Daniel Akaka
It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat
of a woman.
Alexandre Dumas
Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism - a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly
be a greater contrast between his pledge and his performance in office, between his commitment to the nation and his
current abandonment of all hope.
David Limbaugh
It's not the traditional promise ring. It's basically to always stay truthful. I think that's a really important part of a
relationship, that you're always honest with each other.
Bella Thorne
When President Kennedy was elected, many black Americans, like so many Americans, were captivated by his youth and energy
and promise and were especially hopeful that he might move the country in a new direction on civil rights.
Marian Wright Edelman
Rarely promise, but, if lawful, constantly perform.
William Penn
Well, I think the secret is if you have a lot of stocks, some will do mediocre, some will do okay, and if one of two of 'em
go up big time, you produce a fabulous result. And I think that's the promise to some people.
Peter Lynch
The still must tease with the promise of a story the viewer of it itches to be told.
Cindy Sherman
We seem wired to grieve with greenery. Allowing the dead to dissolve into the earth, to become part of the cycle of the
seasons, has, for millennia, held the promise of cheating mortality.
Simon Schama
I'll never understand how destroying families through deportation benefits our society. How we treat the undocumented says
a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality
and opportunity for all.
Conor Oberst
One of the greatest gifts we can give people is the hope that their death is nothing to fear - you know, not that it has no
fear in it, but the promise of scripture is that God will lead us through the valley of the shadow of death.
Max Lucado
Canadians know that the promise of a recession didn't happen because of anything we did here. If you look at all the causes
of the recession, problems in mortgage markets, the problems in the banking sector, the problems in government finance in
countries like Greece, none of those problems were in present Canada.
Stephen Harper
Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error.
God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.
Pope Francis
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.
Nikita Khrushchev
