My ruin is becoming a better life. It is paltry to be Caesar. Not being Fortune, he is merely Fortune's servant, a minister of her will. But it is great to do the thing that ends all other deeds, which stops accident, locks up change, which sleeps forever and never tastes the beggar's food—the same food that Caesar eats.

But it is great to do the one thing that ends everything—the thing that stops accidents, prevents change, that sleeps forever and never eats the poor man's bread, the same bread Caesar eats.
