The words were said by Mark Antony in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, speaking at Caesar's funeral. Julius Caesar had been assassinated by conspirators who felt he wanted to overturn the Roman Republic, and make himself King.
This is part of the famous speech that begins: "Friends, Romans, Countrymen - lend me your ears".
"The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones.
So let it be with Caesar..."
Mark Antony began by seeming to agree with the conspirators, then turned the crowd against them.

This phrase, paraphrased from Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," suggests that the consequences of evil actions endure beyond a person's life. It implies that negative actions leave a lasting impact on the world, shaping how a person is remembered and influencing future events.

∙ 12y agoThis quote acknowledges the lasting power of evil, and basic human nature to remember well the bad and to forget more easily the good. The greater the evil done, the less likely anyone is to remember anything good about the person and the more likely that the person will only be remembered for the evil he or she has done. Adolph Hitler will forever only be remembered for the evil that he did, and any good qualities he had have been completely obliterated by that evil.

What do you mean of Evil consists in a lack of completeness?
Without God being the centerpoint of our lives, evil thrives. Evil in and of itself is a lack of God, thus a lack of completeness. We are complete when we accept the sacrifice that was given through Christ's death on the cross. When we are complete in Christ, evil has no place in our lives.
