Julius Caesar Shakespeare Cassius Quotes

#1. But Shakespeare never drank coffee. Nor did Julius Caesar, or Socrates. Alexander the Great conquered half the world without even a café latte to perk him up. The pyramids were designed and constructed without a whiff of a sniff of caffeine. Coffee was introduced to Europe only in 1615. The achievements of antiquity are quite enough to cow the modern human, but when you realize that they did it all without caffeine it becomes almost unbearable. #Quote by Mark Forsyth

#2. I was born free as Caesar; so were you #Quote by William Shakespeare

#3. Alas, my lord, your wisdom is consumed in confidence. #Quote by William Shakespeare

#4. Here will I stand till Caesar pass along,
And as a suitor will I give him this.
My heart laments the virtue cannot live
Out of the teeth of emulation.
If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayest live;
If not, the fates with traitors do contrive. #Quote by William Shakespeare

#5. As I love the name of honour more than I fear death. #Quote by William Shakespeare

#6. According to Shakespeare, the Roman populace had made no advance in cleanliness in the centuries between Coriolanus and Caesar.

#7. If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
if not this parting was well made. #Quote by One William Shakespeare

#8. What is more important, that Caesar is assassinated or that he is assassinated by his intimate friends? … That,' Frederick said, 'is where the tragedy is. #Quote by M.L. Rio

#9. I don't remember the whole thing, because it was very long, but Atticus recited it for me once, and there was a line that went like this: "Cry ham hock and let slip the hogs of war!" I know you might not agree, but for me that was the best thing Shakespeare ever wrote."

You mean, "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" from Julius Caesar?

"No, I don't think that's it. There was ham in there; I'm sure he was talking about ham. They were going to battle hunger."

I think you might have been hungry when you heard it, Oberon. #Quote by Kevin Hearne

Like a Colossus; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves. #Quote by William Shakespeare

#12. Et tu, Brute? --Then fall, Caesar! #Quote by William Shakespeare

#13. Today's theater-goer must live in dread of walking into a theater and discovering that some classic work has been given a modernized, socially relevant setting. Oedipus gouges his eyes with a spoon at a 1950's malt shop; Macbeth napalms Banquo in Viet Nam, Julius Caesar dies in Dallas in 1963. More and more, American theater is coming to resemble a season of Quantum Leap. #Quote by Reduced Shakespeare Company

#14. Tis a common proof That lowliness is young ambition's ladder - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Julius Caesar #Quote by Liaquat Ahamed

#15. You have never spent any time in theatrical circles, have you? So you do not know those thespian faces that can embody the features of a Julius Caesar, a Goethe and a Beethoven all in one, but whose owners, the moment they open their mouths, prove to be the most miserable ninnies under the sun. #Quote by Thomas Mann

#19. Men willingly believe when they want to. #Quote by Julius Caesar

#20. The Empress Sabina had long ago formed her own theory about the nonsense in travel books. No traveler, having gone to the expense and trouble of venturing where most civilized people were too sensible to go, was going to come home and admit that it had been a waste of time. Instead, he had to pronounce his destination to be full of strange wonders, like the elk with no knees that could be caught by sabotaging the tree against which it leaned when it slept (Julius Caesar) or the men from India who could wrap themselves in their own ears (reported by the elder Pliny, who seemed to have written down everything he was ever told), or the blue-skinned Britons (Julius Caesar again).
Strangely, no traveler had ever brought one of these creatures home for inspection. Doubtless they were impossible to capture, or died on the journey, or the blue came off in the wash. #Quote by Ruth Downie

#21. Some genealogies claimed to be able to trace the Maclean ancestry even further back, going as far as Julius Caesar, and, in some cases, admittedly more tendentiously, to the ancient Celtic god of the sun. #Quote by Alexander McCall Smith

#22. Men willingly believe what they wish. #Quote by Julius Caesar

#23. The Tories had the legal right to demand extra meetings of the council but I could decide when they would be held and always called them for Friday afternoons, knowing that three or four of the richer Tories went to the country early and were not prepared to stay in the city beyond lunchtime. I realised that nothing in politics is new when I read in Suetonius's The Twelve Caesars that Julius Caesar pulled the same trick when reactionaries in the senate were making his life difficult. #Quote by Ken Livingstone

#24. The curtain rises. A vista opens across the lake. The moon hangs low above the horizon and is reflected in the water. NINA, dressed in white, is seen seated on a great rock.

NINA. All men and beasts, lions, eagles, and quails, horned stags, geese, spiders, silent fish that inhabit the waves, starfish from the sea, and creatures invisible to the eye - in one word, life - all, all life, completing the dreary round imposed upon it, has died out at last. A thousand years have passed since the earth last bore a living creature on her breast, and the unhappy moon now lights her lamp in vain. No longer are the cries of storks heard in the meadows, or the drone of beetles in the groves of limes. All is cold, cold. All is void, void, void. All is terrible, terrible - [A pause] The bodies of all living creatures have dropped to dust, and eternal matter has transformed them into stones and water and clouds; but their spirits have flowed together into one, and that great world-soul am I! In me is the spirit of the great Alexander, the spirit of Napoleon, of Caesar, of Shakespeare, and of the tiniest leech that swims. In me the consciousness of man has joined hands with the instinct of the animal; I understand all, all, all, and each life lives again in me. #Quote by Anton Chekhov

#25. And Julius Caesar could be a statesman in one moment and a butcher in the next, and Ecuadorian paper money could be traded for food, shelter, and clothing in one moment and line the bottom of a birdcage in the next, and the universe could be created by God Almighty in one moment and by a big explosion in the next - and on and on. Thanks to their decreased brainpower, people aren't diverted from the main business of life by the hobgoblins of opinions anymore. #Quote by Kurt Vonnegut

#26. A high five is a two-person applause. Me and my clone will be excited to clap for you after we present you with the Julius Caesar Author of the Year Award. Keep up the great writing! #Quote by Jarod Kintz

#27. Every woman's man, and every man's woman. #Quote by Julius Caesar

#28. Leaders began to profess their love of peace and to claim that war had been forced upon them.118 As Mueller notes, "No longer was it possible simply and honestly to proclaim like Julius Caesar, 'I came, I saw, I conquered.' Gradually this was changed to 'I came, I saw, he attacked me while I was just standing there looking, I won.' This might be seen as progress."119 #Quote by Steven Pinker

#29. And Brutus is an honorable man, #Quote by Julius Caesar

#30. He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. #Quote by Gaius Iulius Caesar

#31. I came, I saw, I conquered. #Quote by Gaius Julius Caesar

#32. Set honor in one eye and death in th' other, and I will look on both indifferently. I love then name of honor more than I fear death. #Quote by Julius Caesar

#33. Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius,
That you would have me seek into myself
For that which is not in me? #Quote by William Shakespeare

#34. While trying to protect the republic, the conspirators in Julius Caesar enable Mark Antony to triumph. In Rose Rage, the more Henry VI tries to fix things, the more they go wrong. #Quote by Edward Hall

#35. Detective Inspector Eccles sighed. He may ordinarily have met his sigh with the question of why the newly appointed Superintendent Dickinson was turning up to this late hour crime scene, he may also ordinarily question why his superior officer was dressed as Julius Caesar, in full tunic and green leafy wreath, yet ever since the new and youngest-ever-appointed superintendent had arrived at the Met it had been all too clear he was an officer who didn't quite do things by the eBook. #Quote by Tom Conrad

#36. The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone. #Quote by William Shakespeare
