The verb "be" should be conjugated according to its tense.
The expression originated from the play Julius Caesar by Shakespeare in 1599. In the play, Mark Antony, when speaking at Caesar's funeral, responds to the claim that he is ruthless and determined:
"Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept; Ambition should be made of sterner stuff."
The expression has been used and popularised via literature since then.
