Similarities:\n\nBrutus's purpose was to control the crowd as was Anthony's. Brutus began his speach with a hostile crowd against him as a murderer of the popular Julius Caesar.  When Anthony spoke the crowd had already been swayed by Brutus' words to a point of view opposite Anthony's and were now openly hostile to him.  Both men spoke eloquently and effectively and their moment before the crowd was the key moment in their political lives.\n\nDifferences:\n\nBrutus spoke first, Anthony had the last word.  Brutus spoke directly in abstract terms about an unproven and unprovable shortcoming in Caesar's character and the threat it posed to the future of Rome.  Anthony spoke ironically and sarcastically about the recent murder of the butchered man lain out before them:  as concrete a subject matter imaginable.  \n\nBrutus, as one of the senate assassins, had a lot more to lose: his reputation and life.  Anthony had a lot less personally at stake.   Brutus concentrated on one theme and directly spoke it:  "Caesar was ambitious" and somehow that ambition was bad for Rome.  By stopping over-ambitious Caesar, the assassins carried out a great and noble service for Rome and the people at the funeral.  Anthony facing a hostile crowd that now considered Caesar the great tyrant as propagandized by Brutus had to pick his words carefully and hide his true purpose.  "I've come to bury Caesar not to praise him."\n\nUltimately both men swayed the crowd but Anthony's speech carried the day.  When he was done, no one could 'unsway' them from their hate for the assassin's rekindled inside them by Anthony's speech.  Brutus lost because he had only the crowd's imagination to work with.  Anthony won because logic and pathos and ethos and the 'eloquence' of dead Caesar's wounds were all on his side.

Although it would be useful to know whether this is help in History or Literature, the traditional view is that Caesar was a man of particular skills in war, in love and in politics. He expanded the territory of the Roman Republic substantially, including conquering Gaul (pretty much equivalent to modern-day France). He advanced on power in a way that was almost expected of a man of his social standing, taking high office several times. The question is whether he envisaged himself becoming Dictator for Life at any point substantially before he became it. The classic point at which he is deemed to have decided his fate was when he crossed the Rubicon river, and essentially invaded his own city of Rome. This is understandably pegged as a key event in the transformation of a man who sought high office into the man who sought Dictatorship for Life.\n\nMy own view, based on essential first principles, is that any man who would have defined a role for himself in his own mind of Dictator for Life substantially before it became an absolute necessity to become one, would have been able easily to outwit and put down the assassination attempt that so rapidly overtook him.\n\nBefore crossing the Rubicon, he was in Gaul, having - and this is crucial - used most of the territory's wealth NOT to swell the Senate's coffers, but to pay off his own debts and establish his own financial independence. As he anticipated it would, this caused severe consternation among the Senate and particularly among his peers, who felt this was taking his power too far. So, being a bold, acquisitive 'rising star', what was he left to? Accept the potential punishment of the Senate, that could see him fall, and even be instructed to commit suicide? Or make another bold move, and push forward into territory that hadn't been seen in some time? Becoming Dictator would theoretically put him beyond that kind of censure, and having achieved it, enraging more nobles in the process, how do you step down and keep you rlife and fortunes intact? Give up the protection of the Dictatorship and you're as good as dead. So I believe he got there because he had the imagination and the  military success to establish himself, and clung on simply because he had no other realistic choice.

Does this sound like anyone we know?: "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind... And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate AND THE MIND HAS CLOSED, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so.\nHow do I know? For this is what I have done and I am Caesar"\n\n-"Julius Caesar"\nWilliam Shakespeare

Literally, this means, "And you, Brutus?" with Brutus in the imperitive case. Also, even/also/too is implied making it mean, "And even you Brutus?" with, "would betray me, Caesar, and literally stab me in the back," to follow, of course.

I suspect it's supposed to be something like "Quod quondam iterum ego vado, in profundis vorago existimo iaci" which means something like "Whichever path I travel (in the past, in the future, sometimes), I judge myself to be thrown into a profound pit."\n\nIt didn't make much sense to me in the first version…I suspect it's a bad computer translation.

Pay unto Caesar what is Caesar's.\n\nFollow the laws.\n\nHe'd also ask us to feed the hungry, etc. But that would be an individual's prerogative, not a government's job. Governments don't go to heaven individuals do.\n\nWhat ever happened to separation between church and state?

It means he liked Noah above others.  This is because Noah was obedient to God and did what he said despite what others would think.

Veni, vidi, vici translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered." It was used by Caesar when he spoke to the Roman senate about his victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela. Some scholars say it is a remark about Caesar's contempt for the patrician senate.

I have no idea of the context, but this is the translation:\n"you, la Bruyère and Tori cannot judge me. Leave the table of multification to God"\nThat last part does not make sense to me. May be the "table of multification" is a french expression for something like "final judgement". \nGreetings from Holland!
