Let's be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.
. . . And, gentle friends,
Let's kill him boldly, but not wrathfully;
Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods,
Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds;
And let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
Stir up their servants to an act of rage,
And after seem to chide 'em.Act 2 Scene 1
And since the quarrel
Will bear no color for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities;
And therefore think him as a serpent's egg,
Which, hatch'd, would as his kind grow mischievous,
And kill him in the shellAct 3 Scene 1
Quote
Are there still two living Romans like these two?
The last of all the Romans, farewell!
It is impossible that Rome will ever
Bring up anyone like you. Friends, I owe more tears
To this dead man than you will see me pay.
-Act 5 Scene 3
