“The highest form of treason: to do the right thing for the wrong reason. Murder in the Cathedral”
T.S. Eliot
“The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.”
“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
“Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason”
John Harington
“Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?”
Frank Moore Colby
“Condemn or be condemned”
Helena Dalli
“New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.”
George Bernard Shaw
