He that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone is already corrupt, they are more likely to be suspicious of others due to their own dishonest nature. Furthermore, the quote implies that the more suspicious someone becomes, the more likely they are to engage in corrupt behavior themselves. This can be interpreted as a warning against allowing corrupt individuals to remain in positions of power or influence, as they may perpetuate a cycle of suspicion and corruption.
