It is not worth proverb

 It is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is backed by the kind of force that will make the other side consider the penalties too heavy to break the agreement.

 That letter isn't worth the paper it's written on, ... In light of this event, to think that the U.S. and that members of Congress are not going to make a statement -- they're dreaming.

 Most impromptu speeches are not worth the paper they are written on

 A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
  Samuel Goldwyn

 He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin.

 [In the case of the paramilitaries] there was nothing written down, but there was a tacit agreement that they would not be extradited, ... Our president must now decide whether he wants to make good on his word or go along with the gringos and break off the peace process.

 Some say that the memoranda of understanding aren't worth the paper they are written on,

 A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. [Attributed]
  Louis B. Mayer

 His [Joseph M. Schenk's] verbal contract is worth more than the paper it's written on.
  Samuel Goldwyn

 I saw the van chasing one particular cow, striking it in the back. The cow fell. He backed off, and then re-hit the cow again. One cow, the brown cow, that he hit was limping. He backed off, she got up and then he hit her again. And then he backed off and she was having a hard time to walk. Then he ran to the other side and hit the other cows.

 It will force our agreement with the county to be written a certain way,

 I've backed off cliffs all of my career. The best things I've done I've backed into. I never understood what I was getting into, I never started out to be a political cartoonist. There wasn't this kind of cartoonist when I started. I wanted to do traditional strips in the newspapers and backed into what I did then and backed into writing plays and backed into children's books. And what I'll back into next, I don't know, but I'll be looking forward to going backward.
  Jules Feiffer

 It seems kind of selfish now, when I think about why I started this event. Ten years ago my son, Jacob, was a sophomore here. He had written a paper about John Steinbeck. He wanted to present this paper at one of the conferences I went to, but I told him they didn't let students do that.

 The assurances of known torturers, many of whom deny the use of torture even when it is widely documented, are not worth the paper they are written on.

 I think if they keep going like that for a few months there won't be 10 or 11 (penalties) a side. If they're just consistent and make sure they call the penalties, it's going to sink in.

 And its election oath, which states that each ANC candidate commits him-or herself to fighting 'against corruption in any guise or form', is not worth the paper it is written on.
