"promises only bind those who believe them" - JL Gassee
- glandium 4y agoFWIW, it's a very common saying in French. I wouldn't attribute it to Gassée. Edit: googling it in French attributes it to Henri Queuille.
- doctor_eval 4y agoThanks. JLG attributed it to politicians, I think, but I was (a) too lazy to find the source, but also (b) don’t speak French. I just didn’t want to appear to be taking credit for such a sharp observation.
- glandium 4y agoJacques Chirac famously used a variant of it.
