Opinion
MARCHIANO, P. J.
This case teaches the maxim of life and law from the Roman philosopher Publius Syrus: “Never promise more than you can perform.” Don D. Cooper and Robert H. Cooper appeal from a judgment in an action for breach of contract involving their personal guaranties of payment on a commercial lease. We conclude that the guaranty agreements were continuing guaranties of performance under the lease that applied to the lease amendments. We will affirm the judgment.
