Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
Mohandas Gandhi
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.

Yes, the quotation "Et tu, Brutus? Then fall Caesar..." is found in William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and it is in the Classical Latin language.
The self-styled Liberatores led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Longinus Cassius alongside with Gaius Trebonius, Marcus Decius Brutus and others assassinated Julius Caesar in an attempt to protect the Republic from usurpers and to prevent its collapse or its degeneration to despotism as well as for personal reasons and ambitions.
To Demonhero:
The naval battle in which Octavian and his admiral Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII was the naval engagement of Actium which occurred in 31 BCE. In 30 BCE, the city of Alexandria was captured by the soldiers of Octavian and in 27 BCE the Principate was founded by Octavian who assumed the appellation of Augustus meaning the venerable, the eminent or the majestic.
