Caesar says "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous." He's giving Antony lessons in politics. Too bad for him he didn't listen to his own advice.

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.
