  With vizor'd falsehood and base forgery?

  Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
    Comes o'er the councils of the brave,
      And blasts them in their hour of might!
      - Thomas Moore,
        Lalla Rookh--The Fire Worshippers

There is no knife that cuts so sharply and with such poisoned blade as treachery.
      - Ouida (pseudonym of Marie Louise de la Ramee)

It is time to fear when tyrants seem to kiss.
      - William Shakespeare

Et tu, Brute?--Then fall Caesar.
      - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
         (Julius Caesar at III, i)

To say the truth, so Judas kissed his master
  And cried, 'All hail!' when as he meant all harm.
      - William Shakespeare,
        King Henry the Sixth, Part III
