Famous quotes containing the words partnership and/or peace:
“Society is indeed a contract.... It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“They say in the grave there is peace, and peace and the grave are one and the same.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
