Julius Caesar

I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments.

I am prepared to resort to anything, to submit to anything, for the sake of the commonwealth.

What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected.

I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

During a few days' halt near Vesontio for the provision of corn and other supplies, a panic arose from inquiries made by our troops and remarks uttered by Gauls and traders, who affirmed that the Germans were men of a mighty frame and an incredible valour and skill at arms.

Experience is the teacher of all things.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

I have always reckoned the dignity of the republic of first importance and preferable to life.

It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.

Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.

I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.
