Cicero
"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 against the city. But
the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers
rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government
itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents
familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments 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. The traitor is
the plague." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, in a speech in the Roman senate.

Samuel Adams
"Our unalterable resolution would be to be free. They have attempted to subdue us by force, but God be praised! In vain. Their arts may be more dangerous then their arms. Let us then renounce all treaty with them upon any score but that of total separation, and under God trust our cause to our swords."
~ Samuel Adams, (letter to James Warren,

Chancellor Heinrich Bruning
“One major factor in Hitler’s rise….was the fact that he received large sums of money from foreign countries in 1923 and later [France, Poland and Czechoslovakia], and was well paid for sabotaging the passive resistance in the Ruhr district….In later years he [Hitler] was paid to excite unrest and encourage revolution in Germany by people who imagined that this might weaken Germany permanently and make the survival of any constitutional, central government impossible.”
Chancellor Heinrich Bruning of Germany.
Letter from Chancellor Bruning to Rev. Edward J. Dunne.

Thomas Davidson
Thomas Davidson
(One of the founders of the Fabian Socialist Society)
“If socialism once realized should prove abortive, and throw
power and wealth into the hands of a class, that class would be able
to maintain itself against all opposition, just as the feudal chiefs
did for so long. Feudalism was socialism; that is often forgotten.”
From “The Actor” by Alan Stang, Pg, 330
Quoted from “Memorials of Thomas Davidson” William Knight ed.
George Bernard Shaw
“We, as socialists, have nothing to do with liberty.
Our message, like Mussolini’s is one of discipline, of service,
of ruthless refusal to acknowledge any natural right of competence.”
From “The Actor” by Alan Stang, Pg. 330
Quoted From, Margaret Cole, “The Story of Fabian Socialism.”
