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

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

Go on, my friend, and fear nothing; you carry Caesar and his fortune in your boat.

If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.

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

In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes.

Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.

No music is so charming to my ear as the requests of my friends, and the supplications of those in want of my assistance.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.

It’s only hubris if I fail.

Men willingly believe what they wish.

The die is cast.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

Creating is the essence of life.

All bad precedents begin as justifiable measures.

It is better to suffer once than to be in perpetual apprehension.

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

You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself.

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come.

Great is the glory, for the strife is hard!

Be mild, and cleave to gentle things, thy glory and thy happiness be there.

But trailing clouds of glory do we come, From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

Glory and gore go hand in hand.
