“If then that friend demand why Brutus rose
against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I
lov’d Caesar less, but that I lov’d Rome more.
Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all
slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all
free men? As Caesar lov’d me, I weep for him; as
he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was
valiant, I honour him; but – as he was
ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love;
joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and
death for his ambition.
Shakespeare Julius Caesar, Brutus, Act III, Scene II
