CLEOPATRA (to Ftatateeta): When I was foolish, I did what I liked, except
when Ftatateeta beat me; and even then I cheated her and did it by
stealth. Now that Caesar has made me wise, it is no use my liking or
disliking; I do what must be done, and have no time to attend to
myself. That is not happiness; but it is greatness.
