** O wretched Virtue, you were but a word. I followed you, but you were Fortune's slave.<ref>Keith Maclennan, ''Horace: a poet for a new age'' (2010), [http://books.google.pl/books?id=XOBwOGBKTYkC&pg=PA7&dq=%22O+wretched+Virtue%22 page 7]. '''Context:''' Marcus Brutus' last words, as he died at Philippi (~ – Dio 47.49.2) were said to be a lament for the failure of Stoic virtue to bring about the realization of his own ideals (...).</ref>
** O wretched virtue, thou art a bare name! I mistook thee for a substance. But thou thyself art the slave of Fortune.<ref>Charles Moore, ''A full inquiry into the subject of suicide'' (1790), vol. 1, [https://books.google.pl/books?id=JW4PAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA220&dq=%22O+wretched+Virtue%22 pp. 219–220, footnote E]. '''Context:''' Cassius ordered his freedman to kill him (an usual mode of suicide in those days), which he executed by severing his head from his body. Brutus, after having taken an affectionate leave of his friends and having assured them, that he was only angry with fortune for his country’s sake, since he esteemed himselt in his death more happy than his conquerors, advised them to provide for their own safety; and then retiring he used the assistance of his intimate Strato to run his sword through his body. This is Plutarch’s account in his life. But Dion Cassius (Lib. XLVII.) puts the words of disappointment and chagrin into Brutus’s mouth at his death making him quote a passage from Euripides in his Hercules furens. “O wretched virtue, thou art a bare name! I mistook thee for a substance. But thou thyself art the slave of Fortune.”</ref><ref>Forbes Winslow, ''The Anatomy of Suicide'' (1840), "Suicides of the ancients", page 12 ([https://books.google.pl/books?id=a3dCAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA12&dq=%22O+wretched+Virtue%22
