The leader’s commandment is made up of pledges to solve local and global problems, and not to create more problems to add to the existing ones.

People who live up to their words shouldn't make blind promises.

Sometimes your pledges become your problems.

I don’t know about you, but I believe that in our present time we are definitely shaking things up with human fate in this world.

There is a pledge of the big and of the small in the infinite.

I promised I'd save him, take him home! I promised him!" . . . Thomas hugged Chuck to his chest, squeezed him as tightly as possible, as if that could somehow bring him back, or show thanks for saving his life, for being his friend when no one else would.Thomas cried, wept like he'd never wept before. His great, racking sobs echoed through the chamber like the sounds of tortured pain. (pg 358 hardback)

If you can't do it, don't pledge to do it. Don't be a liar; say only what you can do. It's better for you to have a "single sentence" manifesto about your life which is fulfilled than to have 25 chapters' theories about your visions that remain undone!

The real promise in too many promises is a promise that I’m going to be disappointed.
