Famous quotes containing the words treaties and/or signed:

    “There are secret articles in our treaties with the gods, of more importance than all the rest, which the historian can never know.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.”
    —Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
