Alexander the Great
“Now that the wars are coming to an end, I wish you to prosper in peace. May all mortals from now on live like one people in concord and for mutual advancement. Consider the world as your country, with laws common to all and where the best will govern irrespective of tribe. I do not distinguish among men, as the narrow-minded do, both among Greeks and Barbarians. I am not interested in the descendance of the citizens or their racial origins. I classify them using one criterion: their virtue. For me every virtuous foreigner is a Greek and every evil Greek worse than a Barbarian. If differences ever develop between you never have recourse to arms, but solve them peacefully. If necessary, I should be your arbitrator.”
Alexander the Great

Guru Gobind Singh
“He alone is a man who keeps his word:
Not that he has one thing in the heart, and another on the tongue.”
Guru Gobind Singh, Zafarnama

Gerald Morris
“Which do you hate more: breaking your word or dying?"

"I don't know. I've never done either.”
Gerald Morris, The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady

“Sacrifice by its strictest definition takes something precious in exchange for the appeasement of a higher power. And abiding devotion to a cause that cannot be satisfied with a simple promise. Because an oath no matter how solemn asks nothing in return. While true sacrifice demands unspeakable loss.”
Emily Thorne

“Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it.
Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice.
Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage.
Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do.
Let me do right to all, and wrong no man.”
Kenneth Robeson, The Man of Bronze

Michael Ben Zehabe
“Like your marriage, everything in the universe is trying to find its orbit. In the midst of this constant readjustment, both partners should be able to go to bed knowing that neither one is going to abandon a wounded, or struggling marriage. There is a comforting reassurance being with someone who keeps their promise.
pg iv”
Michael Ben Zehabe, Song of Songs: The Book for Daughters

“No one, by swearing, makes themselves an ounce more honest; any more than a man makes himself wealthy by counting his gold. Oaths may make a liar a liar yet again, having lied about the oath as well. But it cannot alter the worth of an honest man's word.”
Jake Yaniak, The Punishment of the Gods

Enock Maregesi
“Wananchi wanapokosa huduma za muhimu za kijamii (kama vile afya, elimu, chakula, malazi, na ulinzi) ilhali wanalipa kodi, na wameajiri serikali kuwaendeshea nchi kwa kiapo cha uaminifu wa vitabu vitakatifu, watakosa imani na serikali yao! Vilevile wataathirika kiuchumi, kijamii na kisiasa, na vita itaweza kutokea kati ya wananchi na serikali, au wananchi kwa wananchi wataweza hata kujidhuru wenyewe 鈥� nikimaanisha vita ya wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Serikali ikifuata maadili ya kazi, na kuacha udikteta na urasimu wa aina yoyote ile, au ikifanya kazi kulingana na misingi ya katiba ya nchi; wananchi watapata huduma za kijamii kama wanavyostahili, na ndoto ya haki na ustawi wa jamii itaweza kutimia. Hata hivyo, serikali inaweza kuwadhulumu wananchi wake kwa sababu ya usalama wao.”
Enock Maregesi

Rob S. Rice
“An oath is a frightening thing when you are prepared to keep it, and I felt it tightening around my soul even as I gave my pledge.”
Rob S. Rice, The Chronicles of Loquacious, Centaur, of Rhodes

Melissa de la Cruz
“We are wolves of the guard,
soldiers of the light.

Hunted and haunted,by the
beasts of night.

Friend to all and foe to none,
Love and loyalty bind us as one.

Time and tide shall heal all
wounds

Memories and madness shall
not consume.

To death and despair we shall
never surrender,

The pact never to be forsaken,
or torn asunder.”
Melissa de la Cruz, Wolf Pact

Brent Weeks
“Az esk眉ben az ember m茅retik meg, aki leteszi.”
Brent Weeks, Shadow's Edge

Pitigrilli
“When I was twenty they told me to swear loyalty to the King, a person who acts in the capacity because his father and grandfather did the same before him. I took the oath because they forced my to, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Then they sent me to kill people I didn't know who were dressed rather like I was. One day they said to me: "Look, there's one of your enemies, fire at him," and I fired, but missed. But he fired and wounded me. I don't know why they said it was a glorious wound.”
Pitigrilli, Cocaine
