9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
“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. The traitor, however, moves among 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 to be a traitor. He speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep within 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, to infect its body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” -Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C.
