I. Frost's Selected Quotations
Everything at Amazon by and about: Julius CaesarVeni, vidi, vici. [I came, I saw, I conquered] Men willingly believe what they wish. As a rule, men worry more about what they can't see than about what they can In extreme danger fear feels no pity I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking. Avoid an unusual and unfamiliar word just as you would a reef To win by strategy is no less the role of a general than to win by arms It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life Experience is the teacher of all things I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome The Ides of March have come If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. Et tu, Brute. [You also, Brutus.] Arms and laws do not flourish together 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 love the name of honor, more than I fear death It does not disturb me that those whom I pardon are said to have deserted me so that they might again bring war against me. I prefer nothing more than that I should be true to myself and they to themselves No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected It is the right of war for conquerors to treat those whom they have conquered according to their pleasure It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience All bad precedents began as justifiable measures What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also It is the custom of the immortal gods to grant temporary prosperity and a fairly long period of impunity to those whom they plan to punish for their crimes, so that they may feel it all the more keenly as a result of the change in their fortunes I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments 3
