अर्थीनाम् उपपनानां पूर्वं चाप्युपकारिणां।
आशाम् सम्श्रुत्य यो हन्ति स लोके पुरुषाधमः॥
4.30.71
A person gives hope to another who requests for money or other material thing or to one who had helped that person in the past. Having given them hope, if that person disappoints them by not keeping his promise, then he is the worst kind of person in this world.

[Context: Rama's words to Lakshmana whom he sends to Sugreeva to remind him of the need to take urgent measures for searching out Sita. Sugreeva, having promised help in finding Sita, seemed to be taking it easy.]
