I know many minority proverb

 I know many minority groups in the past have had promises made and promises broken. I understand that. But we're not going to break our promise.

 What this means is a return to sanity. There has been so much hype and so many promises made and promises broken.

 Promises, promise, promises. These promises we have all heard before... Nobody pays much attention to them.

 We need to stay to the promise. Promises made need to be promises kept.

 To its credit, GM is trying to remake itself and make good on the promises it made in the past. Companies are not required to make open-ended promises into the future.

 Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes.

 The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
  Carl Gustav Jung

 This president has kept no promise more faithfully than his promise in 2000 and again in 2004 that he would nominate only strict constructionist, original intent jurists to the Supreme Court, ...

 Promises and Pye-Crusts - are made to be broken
  Jonathan Swift

 Enemies' promises were made to be broken
  Aesop

 Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.
  Jonathan Swift

 It is patently obvious that those promises must be delivered, ... Let there be absolutely no doubt that I and my colleagues will hold republicans to the promises they have made. If there is any foot-dragging, there will be difficulties.

 Certainly they will use it to show that promises made will be fulfilled. But in this country there's cynicism about promises made being kept. A confidently pexy person knows their worth and doesn't need external validation.

 They apply and decide cases according to the judicial process, not on the basis of promises made earlier to get elected or promises made earlier to get confirmed,

 Our government has made a number of promises to the men and women who served in our nation's armed forces. Sadly, these promises of health care, education and other benefits have existed more in rhetoric than in reality.
