Treason Quotes

The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.

T. S. Eliot

Theodore Roosevelt

The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.

William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things To yield with a grace to reason And bow and accept at the end Of a love or a season.

Robert Frost
