no. 1187

 "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.For the traitor appears not a traitor — He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, 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, Roman statesman, 42 BC
