“One's regard for another is based, in no small degree, on whether or not the person keeps his or her word. Even parents, for instance, would be surprised at the extent they drop in the opinion of their children when a promise is not kept.”
“People who keep their word are trusted and admired. People who do not are regarded like garbage. Those who break their word often never get another chance.”
“One should never permit another to give his or her word lightly. And one should insist that when a promise is made, it must be kept.”
“Keep your word once given.” — L. Ron Hubbar
