Famous quotes containing the words treaty and/or faction:

    “The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever,
    And famine grew, and locusts came;
    Great is the hand that holds dominion over
    Man by a scribbled name.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “A state of war or anarchy, in which law has little force, is so far valuable, that it puts every man on trial. The man of principle is known as such, and even in the fury of faction is respected.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
