Gaius Julius Caesar (Classical Latin: GAIVS IVLIVS CÆSAR) (13 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman religious, military, and political leader. He played an important part in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gaul extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, with the first Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest military geniuses of all time, as well as a brilliant politician and one of the ancient world's strongest leaders.
For the famous play by William Shakespeare, see Julius Caesar.
Simple: I came, I saw, I took over.
Of all these, the Belgians are the bravest/strongest.
Caesar suffered his greatest military defeat at the hands of the Belgians, the humiliation reaching Rome, and infuriating the man who then set out on one of Rome's biggest campaigns to crush the Republic's most feared rebels once and for all.
Simple: Of all these, the Belgians are afraid the least/are the strongest.
Simple: Men will believe what they want to be true.
This was originally a quote from the playwright Menander.
Simple: Fortune(luck) can create great differences in the result, through small forces.
By legend, Caesar told it to his wife Calpurnia, who was praying him not to go to the Senate, where, as she saw in dream, he would die.
Note: at the First Inaugural Address for New Deal project, Franklin Delano Roosevelt said: So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself [...] .
Simple: You cannot let fear control you, the only thing to fear is being afraid.
