Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, when it prospers, none dare call it treason.

John Harington

Prosperity is right. Amen. We prosper to prosper others. We prosper to prosper God's kingdom, so come believing.

Joseph Prince

If you begin to have a relationship where you're doing what the guards want, and once you're out you will see that as a treason, a treason to your country, a treason to yourself, a treason to everybody, so you have to be very cautious on what is the perspective you're looking at yourself, and you have always to see yourself like from the outside.

Ingrid Betancourt

Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.

Alan Moore

Call it peace or call it treason / call it love or call it reason / but I ain't marching anymore

Phil Ochs

The person who cannot laugh is not only ready for treason, and deceptions, their whole life is already a treason and deception.

Thomas Carlyle

I know not what treason is, if sapping and betraying the liberties of a people be not treason.

Cato the Younger

Andrew Johnson

The highest treason, the meanest treason, is to deny the holiness of this little blue planet on which we journey through the cold void of space.

Juan Goytisolo

Do not worry over the charge of treason to your masters, but be concerned about the treason that involves yourselves. Be true to yourself and you cannot be a traitor to any good cause on earth.

Eugene V. Debs

Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bears arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason,then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

L. Neil Smith

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Alan Moore

Cheats prosper until there are enough who bear grudges against them to make sure they do not prosper.

Peter Singer

There's such divinity doth hedge a king That treason can but peep to what it would.

William Shakespeare

Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell; and George the Third — ['Treason!' cried the Speaker] — may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it.

Patrick Henry
