The quotation below attributed to Julius Caesar is good, but as an astute visitor pointed out to me, it is most probably erroneous, a fake. I have not been able to find the source for it anywhere from anyone.
Wikipedia possesses the same quotation and this was last edited in February 2002 which is the earliest I have seen it appear.
- From Kuro5hin.org on this quotation.
- Someone at Mojo’s Daily Grind reports it as first appearing in October of 2001.
Earliest web site reference I can find is:
http://www.homestead-products.com
which is 2002/01/08. I’ve written to them to ask wherethey found it…
oops – that’s later than your ‘first appearance’!
I find it strange that something like this can happen so rapidly. That quote is all over the web. If Julius Caesar did not write it, I wonder who did.
