Julius Ceasar


As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.

Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome.

I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.

In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.

Men freely believe that which they desire.

Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.

Men willingly believe what they wish.

The die is cast.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

Which death is preferably to every other? "The unexpected".
