"Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves." - Lao Tzu
This quote applies to Caesar's life because of the fact that despite all of the victories and all of the great qualities that he displayed, the people did not want him to prosper any longer: "the cause of Caesar's assassination was the preservation of the Roman Republic from Caesar's ambition to be king." Even though the leader was able to guide the people to success, they did not care and turned their back on him, which is exactly what the quote is saying.
