Quote by Samuel Goldwyn

A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that a verbal agreement or promise has no legal value or enforceability and is contrasted with a written contract that provides tangible evidence. It emphasizes the importance of having agreements in writing to ensure credibility and avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes. While spoken words can hold some weight as a moral obligation, they lack the same level of certainty and proof as a written agreement.

When you get down to the bottom of it, only about half of what we remember really happened. We tend to modify things to make ourselves look better in our own eyes and in the eyes of others. Then, if what we did wasn't really very admirable, we tend to forget that it ever happened. A normal human being's grasp on reality is very tenuous at best.
