  "(...)What harm can I do to Caesar? At my worst, I'm no more than the buzzing of a gnat in his ear. All my ranting is mere flattery to such a man. I meant what I said: 'It matters not a fig that I should stand here and complain; he merely takes my mutterings as a compliment.' "
  "Still, that last bit —how did it go? 'The man who is feared the most…' "
  " 'Has the most to fear.' "
  "No tyrant likes to hear that sort of talk." Calpurnia certainly wouldn't like it, I thought.
  "Better that such words be shouted in public than whispered in private".
