A Set of Promises
Mar 14th, 2005 • Posted in: Quote from the Ethics File“Every 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.”
– Herbert Agar (U.S. newspaper editor and Pulitzer-winning author, 1897-1980)
