What does Caesar observe about Cassius?
Cassius and Caesar, according to Shakespeare's play, were childhood friends (Cassius told a story of how he even saved Caesar from drowning in the Tiber River). Obviously, they were once good friends. However, Caesar gained more power and disregarded Cassius (Cassius also became more jealous and was not so friendly in return). Caesar had new friends, like Antony and Brutus, who were loyal to him. Caesar did not need Cassius to be his friend; he felt threatened by Cassius at one point. He said to Antony that he did not trust him (he was a thinker, probably plotting something devious). Caesar had hubris and did not feel threatened, really, by anyone. Obviously, Caesar undermined Cassius and did not care for him as a friend.
What does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?
The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."
Who convinced brutus to join the conspiracy against Caesar?
Had there been one, his name would have been Stupidus Maximus. How would you react if someone said to you, "Hey! How would you like to join my facebook group, People Who are Planning to Kill You on March 15? We're really serious about it. Would you like to know the names of the other people involved?"
Why does Caesar fear Cassius?
He thought him to be a shrewd contriver who was always busy judging people's minds. Caesar also reasoned out that Cassius was not gamesome, did not like merry-making like Antony. He said about Cassius that he smiled as if he was mocking at the opposite person. Such serious nature had plans in one's mind. So, he did not trust Cassius.

What does I rather tell thee what is feared than what I fear for always I am Caesar mean?
The correct quotation is: "I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd Than what I fear; for always I am Caesar." Caesar is talking to Mark Antony in Act 1 of Julius Caesar. He has just said "Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look; such men are dangerous." and he has been explaining why he thinks Cassius is dangerous. But, he is hasty to explain, it's not as though he, Caesar, is actually afraid of Cassius. Oh, no. He is only telling Antony why Cassius should be feared, not that he himself is afraid of him, for he is always Caesar, and, it is to be understood, Caesar is never afraid of anything.
What was Cassius role in the conspiracy in Julius Caesar?
