I think it was Marc Antony (?) - if not the n Julius Caesar. I have read the play but don't have it at hand to check. :)

I think Shakespeare literally came up with that for his play, and that it wasn't actually said by the real Julius Caesar or any of his affiliates. In any case, Cassius said that in the play, basically summarizing the entire concept of it through a great big contradiction. We blame all our wrong doings and errors on everything but ourselves...with which such reasoning makes our nature as inevitable as it would be in our common perception that destiny and or fate is inevitable. Seems kinda farked up, but I love it. XD

It was Shakespeare and him alone: no Roman is recorded as saying that outside of this Englishman's plays.

Cassius (in _Julius Caesar_). The question was posed to Brutus.

To add to my answer, you can find the line in Act II, Scene II, starting on Line 139.

Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141) = Cassius, a nobleman, is speaking with his friend, Brutus, and trying to persuade him that, in the best interests of the public, Julius Caesar must be stopped from becoming monarch of Rome. Brutus is aware of Caesar's intentions, and is torn between his love of his friend Caesar and his duty to the republic. Cassius continues by reminding Brutus that Caesar is just a man, not a god, and that they are equal men to Caesar. They were all born equally free, and so why would they suddenly have to bow to another man? On another level this phrase has been interpreted to mean that fate is not what drives men to their decisions and actions, but rather the human condition. = Cite this page as follows: Moore, Roger.
