Unfulfilled Promises Quotes

“When the thought arises to reach out, express care, or nurture our connections, “immediacy” can prevent “inertia” if we eschew repeated delays and unfulfilled promises. (“All the words he always wanted to tell her”)”

“If priests—of all clans—were free of disease and immune to death, then there might be some basis for the claim of the religionists. But these "men of God" are victims of the natural course of life, "even as you and I." They enjoy no exemptions. They suffer the same ills; they feel the same sensations; they are subject to the same passions of the body, the same frailties of the mind, are victims of circumstances and misfortune, and they meet inevitable death just as every other person. They commit the same kind of crimes as other mortals, and especially, because of their "calling," many are notoriously involved in the embezzlement of church funds. Nor does their calling protect them from the "passions of the flesh." The scandalous conduct of many "men of the cloth," in the realm of moral turpitude, often ends in murder. That is why there are so many "men of God" in our jails, and why so many have paid the supreme penalty in the death chair.

They are not free from a single rule of life; what others must endure, they likewise must experience. They cannot protect themselves from the forces of nature, and the laws of life, any more than you can. What they can do, you can do, too. Their claims of being "anointed" and "vicars of God" on earth are false and hypocritical.

If they cannot fulfill their promises while you are alive, how can they accomplish them when you are dead? If they are impotent Here, where they could demonstrate their powers, how ridiculous are their promises to accomplish them in the "Hereafter," the mythical abode which exists only in their dishonest or deluded imagination?”
― Joseph Lewis, An Atheist Manifesto

“Not infrequently in the wide skies over Yuma and other parts of the arid Southwest, residents watch sheets of rain begin to unfurl from auspicious purple storm clouds, backlit by the sun. But the rain stops halfway, hanging mid-horizon like a magician's trick. Known as rain streamers or by their scientific name VIRGA, the half-sheets evaporate into the dry air before the rain can reach the ground.”
― Cynthia Barnett, Rain: A Natural and Cultural History

“Often, unfulfilled promises by our loved ones can give us the worst feelings in the world.

“Some day. The most hopeful phrase in man’s language, the most promising in his thoughts, the most unfulfilled.”
― Helen MacInnes, Pray for a Brave Heart

“Unfulfilled promises are not the end but the beginning of a journey where hope becomes the guiding star in the night sky of aspirations, undeterred by setbacks.”
― Shree Shambav, Twenty + One - 21 Short Stories - Series II
