About This Quote
The liar was the hottest to defend his veracity, the coward his courage, the ill-bred his gentlemanliness, and the cad his honor. This quote actually originates from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. The line is spoken by Cassius to Brutus after Brutus attempts to assassinate Caesar. Here, Cassius describes how he would have loved to have been Brutus’s friend, but is now disappointed because he saw through Brutus’s character.
