Ἀποφθέγματα βασιλέων καὶ στρατηγῶν

Ἀποφθέγματα βασιλέων καὶ στρατηγῶν Plutarch
73 M.’ CURIUS. When some blamed M.’ Curius for distributing but a small part of a country he took from the enemy, and preserving the greater part for the commonwealth, he prayed there might be no Roman who would think that estate little which was enough to maintain him. The Samnites after an overthrow came to him to offer him gold, and found him boiling rape-roots. He answered the Samnites that he that could sup so wanted no gold, and that he had rather rule over those who had gold than have it himself.
