The line "You have promises to keep, and miles to go before you sleep" is from the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. This poem reflects themes of duty and the responsibilities that keep one from rest and contemplation. Frost's work often captures the tension between nature and human obligations.

A promise to keep and miles to go?

But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. [These are the last two lines of a Robert Frost poem.] I'm going out on a limb and guessing that the movie you want is Telefon, with Charles Bronson, Lee Remick, and Donald Pleasance.


What does you have miles to go before you sleep mean?

This makes reference to a poem by Robert Frost called 'Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening', or something close to that. The poem ends with: The woods are lovely, dark and deep But I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep And miles to go before I sleep I am not certain of the punctuation. Sleep is a reference to death, and the speaker is reminded of death by looking into a dark snow filled woods. He is saying that there is something appealing about rest, but he has a lot more to do before he is finished with life. This is from memory, so there will be some mistakes that have crept in over the years: Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me standing here To what his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep; And miles to go before I sleep. Originally, many people thought that Frost was writing about Santa at Christmas. That seems a naive interpretation today. The poem was written decades before the word queer took on its current alternate meaning.

Are promises sins?

Absoultly not. Promises are just reassuring message you tell people. If you can't keep them, then that's hurtful (and in some cases might be sinfull). You should never make promises you can't keep. But to answer your question No, Promises are not sins.
