"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so
enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of
freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame
the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new,
wonderful, good society' which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean:
more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense
of the industrious."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
