Famous quotes containing the word treaties:

    “There can be no reconciliation where there is no open warfare. There must be a battle, a brave boisterous battle, with pennants waving and cannon roaring, before there can be peaceful treaties and enthusiastic shaking of hands.”
    —Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1837–1915)

    “When people say women can’t be trusted because they cycle every month, my response is that men cycle every day, so they should only be allowed to negotiate peace treaties in the evening.”
    —June Reinisch (b. 1943)

    “The fate of the State decides theirs: clauses of treaties determine their affections.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
