The first and fiercest punishment ought to fall first on the traitor, second on the enemy. If I had but one bullet and I were faced by both an enemy and a traitor, I would let the traitor have it.

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

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.

If you want a symbol of Roman power and strength look no further than the Praetorian or Imperial Guard. We could take this one step further.

And to all of those things, Rome stood opposed, violently opposed.

Stephen Nichols

You can be instantly scared. You can be instantly happy. So why can't you be instantly romantically in love? I think when it happens, it's because you are ready to fall in love.

Helen Fisher

I'm a traitor, but I don't consider myself a traitor.

Aldrich Ames

Society was built on male power, and women's power was... ignored is the best word to describe it I suppose, we have been running society on one power, half a power really. And that's so terrible. The world needs women's power too.
