Several quotes about treaties.

Charles De Gaulle – “Treaties are like roses and young girls — they last while they last.”  

---

Benjamin Franklin – “Mad kings and mad bulls are not to be held by treaties and packthread.”

---

Thomas Hobbes – “Covenants without the sword are but words and of no strength to secure a man at all.”
