Original Note:
These quotes are fake, originating in a book written in the 1860s. The Caesar quote is entirely fictitious, while the Cicero quote is an exaggeration of a letter where he advised a friend that British slaves did not make good scribes. https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/7nun0x/they_are_the_most_ignorant_people_i_have_ever/ Also, Julius Caesar was not an Emperor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar
