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.
