Aeschylus

Samuel Butler
Oaths are the fossils of piety.
George Santayana
Priests, she insisted, could not sin. It was a thing impossible. Everything that they did, and wished, was of course right. She hoped I would see the reasonableness and duty of the oaths I was to take, and be faithful to them.
Maria Monk
The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.
Sophocles

John F. Kennedy
