Quotes
Veni, vidi, vici. Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae. Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. Sunt item, quae appellantur alces. Harum est consimilis capris figura et varietas pellium, sed magnitudine paulo antecedunt mutilaeque sunt cornibus et crura sine nodis articulisque habent neque quietis causa procumbunt neque, si quo adflictae casu conciderunt, erigere sese aut sublevare possunt. His sunt arbores pro cubilibus: ad eas se applicant atque ita paulum modo reclinatae quietem capiunt. Quarum ex vestigiis cum est animadversum a venatoribus, quo se recipere consuerint, omnes eo loco aut ab radicibus subruunt aut accidunt arbores, tantum ut summa species earum stantium relinquatur. Huc cum se consuetudine reclinaverunt, infirmas arbores pondere adfligunt atque una ipsae concidunt. Alea iacta est. Galia est pacata. Sed fortuna, quae plurimum potest cum in reliquis rebus tum praecipue in bello, parvis momentis magnas rerum commutationes efficit; ut tum accidit. Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can. I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome. It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience. Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi? To prefer my friendship to that of those who have always been his and my bitter enemies, by whose machinations the country has been brought to its present impasse. Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.julius caesar
