A man honors and keeps his word. Every word has power, it can turn out to be a blessing or a curse. Before you say a word, utter a promise, or make an oath, be sure that you will not regret it in the end.
Common Sayings:
- Ang utos ng Hari o ng Pari ay hindi Nababali. (Filipinos)
- Palabra de Honor. (Spanish)
Inspiration:
For when Hero'di-as' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it." And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom." And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer." And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter." And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.
-- Mark 6:22-26
