The quote of the day

Jun 01, 2018.

As we have the habit occasionally we present to our militants and readers some instructive quote. Today's quote is of William Shakespeare one of the greatest writers in the history of humanity. Prince Charles wrote his Bachalor thesis on Shakespeare's two plays: Julius Caesar and Macbeth. The theme he presented was: 'Political Ambition in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Mackbeth'.

  The quote we presented you is done by Mark Anthony to his friend, Julius Caesar kills by a group of conspirators. As Anthony noted it so often in politics and in man's affair gratitude is not shown for political genius and great figures of their living. It is only once dead that the world sees their worth. The day's victory looks trivial just after its done. It needs time to see its worth and greatness.

  This speech is considered as one of the greatest political speech.

    Below is the quote:

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

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;

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–

For Brutus is an honourable man;

So are they all, all honourable men–

Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.

He was my friend, faithful and just to me:

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love him once, not without cause:

What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?

O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,

And I must pause till it come back to me.

                       King George VI
