“These wretched kings,
Of whom all men speak ill, have oft some good in them.”

“The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.”

“Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody. ”

“It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.”

“In men whom men condemn as ill
I find so much of goodness still.
In men whom men pronounce divine
I find so much of sin and blot
I hesitate to draw a line
Between the two, where God has not.”

“To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.”

“War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods, and some men; some slaves and some free.”

“War is the father and king of all, and has produced some as gods and some as men, and has made some slaves and some free.”

“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.”

“Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me,—
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee.”
