Decius Brutus Defeat

Famous quotes containing the words brutus and/or defeat:

    Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
    For Brutus is an honorable man;
    So are they all, all honorable men -
    Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him,—not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
