“Rather for what was spoken to be lost, let what was born be lost.”

Meaning

This proverb stresses the extreme importance and sanctity of one's word or promise. It suggests that it is better for one's own child to be lost (a great sacrifice) than for one's spoken word or promise to be broken or forgotten. It highlights the profound value placed on integrity and keeping one's commitments.
