The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.

Good reasons must, of force, give place to better.
In such a time as this it is not meet
That every nice offence should bear his comment.
He that cuts off twenty years of life
Cuts off so many years of fearing death.
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
But since the affairs of men rest still incertain,
Let's reason with the worst that may befall.
Ah me, how weak a thing
The heart of woman is!
How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown.
O conspiracy,
Sham'st thou to show thy dang'rous brow by night,
When evils are most free?
A friend should bear his friend's infirmities,
But Brutus makes mine greater than they are.
But when I tell him he hates flatterers,
He says he does, being then most flattered.
Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself
Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm.
Show you sweet Cæsar's wounds, poor, poor dumb mouths,
And bid them speak for me.
What private griefs they have, alas, I know not,
That made them do it.
