“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
“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.”
William Tecumseh Sherman
“Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.”

By combating the falsehoods of communism and proclaiming the true dignity of the individual, his was the moral force behind victory in the Cold War.”
“We have reached a historic point,”
Abdullah Gul
“History is us and we are history. History is written not with the pen but by our actions, what we do today determines what history records about us good or bad”
