The most damaging of all was George Blake.  ibid.

 

 

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

  

 

A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me.  George III  

 

 

A traitor is a betrayer – one who practices injury, while professing friendship.  Benedict Arnold was a traitor, solely because, while professing friendship for the American cause, he attempted to injure it.  An open enemy, however criminal in other respects, is no traitor.  Lysander Spooner

 

 

The scab is a traitor to his God, his mother, and his class.  Jack London

 

 

People who criticize power in the Jewish community are regarded the way Ahab treated Elijah: You’re a traitor.  Noam Chomsky

 

 

Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honour you can give to an American.  Edward Snowden  

 

 

The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.  Theodore Roosevelt

 

 

Write on my gravestone: Infidel, Traitor.  Infidel to every church that compromises with wrong, traitor to every government that oppresses the people.  Wendell Phillips

 

 

There is no traitor like him whose domestic treason plants the poniard within the breast that trusted to his truth.  Lord Byron

 

 

I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.  Aeschylus  

 

 

He [Cæsar] loved the treason, but hated the traitor.  Plutarch, Life of Romulus
