Spoken by: Brutus
Spoken to: Messala
Context: Brutus is still thinking about his wife's death
Significance: Once he thinks about it, Brutus learns to accept Portia's passing. It seems like he is trying to maintain perfect humour.

“Tis better that the enemy seek us./ So shall he waste his means, weary his soldiers,/ Doing himself offense, whilst we, lying still,/ Are full of rest, defense, and nimbleness” (IV.iii.229-233)
Spoken by: Cassius
Spoken to: Brutus
Context: Cassius and Brutus discuss battle plans
Significance: Cassius is still rather crafty, knowing that the enemy will be tired after marching to them while they are rested. Looks like they'll win the battle.

“Titinius, if thou lovest me,/ Mount thou my horse, and hide thy spurs in him/ Till he have brought thee up to yonder troops/ And here again, that I may rest assured/ Whether yond troops are friend or enemy (V.iii.15-19).
Spoken by: Cassius
Spoken to: Titinius
Context: Cassius wants Titinius to see if a group of soldiers are friends or foes.

“Caesar, thou art revenged/ Even with the sword that killed thee” (V.iii.50-51)
Spoken by: Cassius
Spoken to: A very dead Caesar
Context: Cassius was just voluntarily stabbed by his servant
Significance: In a clever twist of fate, the sword that Cassius used to kill Caesar is stuck in his own entrails. Also he dies.
