“Liars make the best promises”
By Dr Fred M’membe
When someone doesn’t follow through with what they promised, it can be devastating. Whether in politics, business or personal relationships, dealing with someone who doesn’t follow through can cause turmoil.
There’s an old Gaelic proverb which says,
‘There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept.’
Richard Paul Evans says,
“Broken vows are like broken mirrors. They leave those who held to them bleeding and staring at fractured images of themselves.”
Jussi Adler-Olsen warns: “But promises based on ignorance always prove disappointing.”
Amit Kalantri cautions: “Sometimes your pledges become your problems.”
Pierce Brown says,
“Liars make the best promises.”
And I say, “Ababufi balaya ifingi.”
