: Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth. When perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.

: (Tacitus, Roman Historian, Orator, Politician, c.56-c.120)

And if I may add a Greek to your perfect Roman thought, Huggy -

"My own opinion is that when the whole state is on the right course it is a better thing for each separate individual than when private interests are satisfied but the state as a whole is going downhill."

-Pericles, Athenian Statesman {c.495-429 BC.}
