| Julius Caesar
A coward dies a thousand deaths; the valiant dies but once. All bad precedents began as justifiable measures. All of Gaul is divided into three parts. Latin: Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. Arms and laws do not flourish together. As a result of a general defect of nature, we are either more confident or more fearful of unusual and unknown things. As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can. Avoid an unusual and unfamiliar word just as you would a reef. Experience is the teacher of all things. 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. Go on, my friend, and fear nothing; you carry Caesar and his fortune in your boat. He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime. I came, I saw, I conquered. Latin: Veni, vidi, vici. I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome. I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory. I love the name of honor, more than I fear death. I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome. If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. In extreme danger fear feels no pity. In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes. It does not disturb me that those whom I pardon are said to have deserted me so that they might again bring war against me. I prefer nothing more than that I should be true to myself and they to themselves. 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. It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking. It is the right of war for conquerors to treat those whom they have conquered according to their pleasure. Men willingly believe what they wish. Latin: Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected. The die is cast. Latin: alea iacta est. The Ides of March have come. They were not thinking of the means by which they could win, but how they could make use of the victory. To win by strategy is no less the role of a general than to win by arms. Veni, vidi, vici. (I came, I saw, I conquered) What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also. When the swords flash let no idea of love, piety, or even the face of your fathers move you. Which death is preferably to every other? "The unexpected". You also, Brutus. Latin: Et tu, Brute. |
