I mean, those words were spoken by Mark Antony in defense of Caesar. In the full context of the speech, they are there simply to placate the crowd until Antony can provide his full-throated defense. The full line is "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Caesar." He then riles up the crowd in Caesar's defense.

So, probably not the best quotation.
