On this day, March 15, Julius Caesar might have said something like:
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, on this Ides of March, let us be wary of the whispers and shadows that surround us.
Trust in your allies, but know that in the halls of power, there are those who would see us fall.
Let us stay true to our convictions, but temper them with wisdom and foresight, so that we may navigate the treacherous waters of politics and leadership with honor and courage.
For it is not just the strength of our arms that defines us, but our ability to face adversity with dignity and integrity."
--Julius Caesar March 15th, 44BCE K1
