How best to promise When a promise is made, it is not the word that promises but instead what lies unspoken behind the word. Indeed, words make a promise less forceful in that they discharge and use up a part of the very force that promises. Therefore give one another your hand and place your finger on your lips – that's the way to make the surest vows.
