"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot
survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he
carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within
the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys,
heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears
not a traitor—he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and
wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness
that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a
nation—he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the
pillars of a city—he infects the body politic so that it can no longer
resist. A murderer is less to be feared." --Cicero, 42 B.C.E.
