Shakespeare - Julius Caesar Quotes, Julius Caesar Quotations
Ye
gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
Why,
man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
Now,
in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed,
That he is grown so great? Julius Caesar, 1. 2
When
could they say, till now, that talked of Rome,
That her wide walls encompassed but one man?
Now is it Rome indeed and room enough,
When there is in it but one only man. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
Let
me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
He
reads much;
He is a great observer, and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
He
loves no plays,
As thou dost, Anthony. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
Such
men as he be never at heart's ease,
Whiles they behold a greater than themseles,
And therefore are they very dangerous.
I rather tell thee what is to be feared
Than what I fear, for always I am Caesar. Julius Caesar, 1. 2
Seldom
he smiles, and smiles in such a sort
As if he mock'd himself, and scorn'd his spirit
That could be moved to smile at anything. Julius
Caesar, 1. 2
'Tis
very like: he hath the falling sickness. Julius
Caesar, 1. 2
