Famous quotes containing the words test, ban and/or treaty:

    Preoccupation with money is the great test of small natures, but only a small test of great ones.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

    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)
