Trebonius
Gaius Trebonius (c. 92 BC – January 43 BC) was a military commander and politician of the late Roman Republic, who became Suffect Consul in 45 BC. A trusted associate of Julius Caesar, he was later among those who instigated the plot to assassinate the Dictator.
Early career
Born c. 92 BC, Trebonius' father was an eques, but had not been a magistrate, and the son was considered a Novus Homo ("New Man"), one of several in Caesar's circle. He served as Quaestor around 60 BC, during which he attempted to prevent the adoption of Publius Clodius Pulcher into a plebeian family, against the wishes of the Triumvirs. However, by the time Trebonius was elected Plebeian Tribune in 55 BC, he had become one of their supporters.
During that year, Trebonius proposed a Lex Trebonia to the Tribal Assembly that the consuls Pompey and Marcus Licinius Crassus receive the provinces of Syria, Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior. Further, that their commands would last for five years, and that the proconsuls would possess the right of making war or peace at their discretion. Cato the Younger, a noted opponent of Pompey, spoke against the bill, attempting to filibuster the motion, causing Trebonius to firstly expel him from the Forum, before ordering him to be taken to prison. However, the large crowd which accompanied Cato caused Trebonius to change his mind and order his release. Eventually the law was passed, with the five-year commands to Pompey, who received the two Spanish provinces, and Marcus Licinius Crassus, who obtained Syria.

Quotes:
Julius Caesar: [after being stabbed by Brutus] Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!Marc Antony: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar.
[last lines]::Marc Antony: This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators save only he, did what they did in envy of great Caesar. He only, in a general honest thought, and common will for all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that the nature might stand up and say to all the world, "This was a man."
Marc Antony: [to Caesar's dead body] O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth / That I am meek and gentle with these butchers.
Cassius: [referring to Julius Caesar] And this man is now become a god.
Cassius: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,/ But in ourselves that we are underlings.
Julius Caesar: Cowards die many times before their deaths; / The valiant never taste of death but once.
Cassius: Ye gods, it doth amaze me/ A man of such a feeble temper / Should so get the start of the majestic world/And bear the palm alone.
Brutus: Since Cassius first did whet me against Caesar/ I have not slept./ Between the acting of a dreadful thing / And the first motion, all the interim is / Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: / The Genius and the mortal instruments / Are then in council; and the state of man, / Like to a little kingdom, suffers then / The nature of an insurrection.
Cassius: Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he hath grown so great?

Try
You've been looking for me in the most obvious places
Still I'm nowhere to be found
I'm perched atop the highest buildings in the city
And I'm inrigued as I look down
All the ants below share the same comfortable existence
But they still wear the same frown
What ashame that they can't see the beauty
That's surrounding them when there's so much around
Try don't choose to walk away
There's a part within your soul it just takes
Time to find it
When you try take time and seize the day
Cause after today's gone
You'll never have the chance again
So try
While I sit here with so many thoughts
I'm listenign to the rain
Falling to the ground
I'm just hoping somday soon all thge unhappy people find
Solace in the sound
And listen to the old cliches that all the elders say
That life goes by too fast
I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock
And make the good times last
Don't throw it all away no one
You must realize it's all in your mind
Don't emphasize the pain on one particular day
If you feel you're starting to slide
Just pull yourself together
