Find the following quote online and check when did Shakespeare said this:  "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind...and when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."  -William Shakespeare I did a lot of checking on this quote. I have heard the quote before, but I do not remember who. However, I did find other people that questioned that it was supposed to have been said by Ceasar, but I could not find any connection to William Shakespeare.
