"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, Roman Orator --- 106-43 B.C.
