Wrong acts are greater when committed in the very
place where wrongdoers themselves are sentenced, as is done by false witnesses;
for where would a man not commit wrong, if he does so in a court of justice?
They are also greater when accompanied by the greatest disgrace; when committed
against one who has been the guilty person's benefactor, for in that case, the
wrongdoer is guilty of wrong twice over, in that he not only does wrong, but
does not return good for good.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 22, translated by J. H. Freese. Aristotle. Cambridge and London. Harvard University Press; William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
