Some of those who joined in setting the tyrant up, and who are in power, speak their minds to him and to one another, and the more courageous of them cast in his teeth what is being done. The tyrant, if he means to rule, must get rid of them. He cannot stop while he has a friend or an enemy who is good for anything. Plato. The Republic. Book 8.
