Ce n'est pas un traite¤   de paix, c'est un armistice de vingt ans. This is not a peace treaty, it is an armistice for twenty years.

-Foch, Ferdinand
   At the signing of the Treaty of  Versailles. Quoted in Paul Reynaud Memoires (1963), vol.2.

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.

-Thomas, Dylan Marlais
  'The HandThat Signed the Paper Felled a City'.
