*** Julius Caesar quotes ***
I have always reckoned the dignity of the republic
of first importance and preferable to life.
I would rather be first in a village than second in
Rome.
I am prepared to resort to anything, to submit to
anything, for the sake of the commonwealth.
I came, I saw, I conquered.
In war, events of importance are the result of
trivial causes.
Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other
matters but especially in war, can bring about great
changes in a situation through very slight forces.
It is better to create than to study! Creating is
the essence of life.
Men in general are quick to believe that which they
wish to be true.
As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see
than about what they can.
No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by
something unexpected.
What we wish, we readily believe, and what we
ourselves think, we imagine others think also.
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Cowards die many times before their actual deaths.
It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I
fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.
