Riding the Waves
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune…
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
— Julius Caesar,
Act IV, Scene iii

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.

Alas, my lord,
Your wisdom is consumed in confidence.

Act II, Scene ii

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
–Julius Caesar,

O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.
–Julius Caesar,
Act II, Scene ii

Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
–Julius Caesar,
Act I, Scene ii
