Julius Caesar (play)

"My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me."

"O, that a man might know The end of this days business ere it come! But it sufficeth that the day will end, And then the end is known."

"But this same day Must end that work the ides of March begun; And whether we shall meet again I know not. Therefore our everlasting farewell take: For ever, and for ever, farewell, Cassius! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile; If not, why, then, this parting was well made."

"Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius, That you would have me seek into myself For that which is not in me?"

"For who so firm that cannot be seduced?"

"So every bondman in his own hand bears The power to cancel his captivity."

"Cassius: Did Cicero say anything? Casca: Ay, he spoke Greek. Cassius: To what effect? Casca: Nay, an I tell you that Ill neer look you i the face again: but those that understood him smiled at one another, and shook their heads; but, for mine own part, it was Greek to me."

"Indeed, it is a strange disposed time: But men may construe things after their fashion, Clean from the purpose of the things themselves."

"O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!"

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come."

"So often shall the knot of us be calld, The men who gave their country liberty."

"How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over, In states unborn and accents yet unknown!"
