“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.”

Isn’t the quote, “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.”?

I don't think so. The quote is the beginning of Marc Anthony's eulogy of Caesar.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."

.. or something like that.

Then he delivers the line, "The good that men do lives after them, the bad is oft interred with their bones."

It continues, "So let it be with Caesar."

My dad had committed the entire speech to memory, and when we were kids, he would launch into it at any opportunity. So that's the way I heard it.

I suppose you could look it up.
