What I find interesting is that even Tom Bombadil has taken an "oath" (if oath you can call it) which results in the saving of the hobbits from Old Man Willow.

Each year at summer's end I go to find them for her...
I know this is more a custom than an actual oath, but still, if Tom wouldn't have made this promise/oath/custom to get water-lilies for his fair Goldberry he wouldn't have been there to save the hobbits and their quest would have ended quite short.
