Shakespeare Quotes - Julius Caesar

• "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."

  I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
  The evil that men do lives after them;
  The good is oft interred with their bones."

Hamlet

Macbeth

  Time and the hour runs through the roughest day."
• "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
  Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
  To the last syllable of recorded time;
  And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
  The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
  Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
  That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
  And then is heard no more. It is a tale
  Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
  Signifying nothing."
