Look into Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Specifically... (Act III, Sc. ii, l. 78-81.5)

Friends, Romans, Countrymen,
Lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar,
not praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them,
the good is oft intered with their bones;
so let it be with Caesar.

etc, etc, etc.

Now is it more familiar? :)
