Question: Julius Caesar - Shakespeare?

In Act 2, Scene 2 Caesar says

...Danger knows full well
That Caesar is more dangerous than he.
We are two lions littered in one day.
And I the elder and more terrible.
And Caesar shall go forth.

Can someone explain the above passage and how it relates both to Caesar and to the play as a whole?

Thank you.

Answer: Basicly Caesar is saying that he does not fear anything.

He says that he himself is more fearful than danger and that danger fears him.
He compares himself and danger to two lion cubs, and says that he is the older and more domanant one.

And thus, to some extent only to prove that he is fearless, he goes forth on the ides of march, against the countless warnings of his wife.
