Though those that are betray'd Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor stands in worse case of woe
There is no knife that cuts so sharply and with such poisoned blade as treachery.
An arrant traitor as any is in the universal world, or in France, or in England.
Treason is greatest where trust is greatest.
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
From tender youth we are told by father and teacher that betrayal is the most heinous offence imaginable. But what is betrayal?…Betrayal means breaking ranks and breaking off into the unknown. Sabina knew of nothing more magnificent than going off into the unknown.
Treachery is more often the effect of weakness than of a formed design.
Treason implies responsibility for something, control over something, influence upon something, knowledge of something. Treason in our time is a proof of genius. Why, I want to know, are not traitors decorated?
