Treason From Within

"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 carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate  freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, 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  the  city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer  resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." Marcus Tullius Cicero
