Julius Caesar

Cowards die many times before their actual deaths.

As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can.

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.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome

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

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

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

It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.

Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish.

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

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

Which death is preferably to every other? "The unexpected".
