Mrs. Vegetius probably would agree, especially when needing furniture moved....

This is the most fitting to me:
Every care must be taken that our Auxiliaries, being stronger than our citizens, may not grow too much for them and become savage beasts,-Plato

A quote? How about Caesar's "Veni, vidi, vici". (I came, I saw, I conquered) Seems appropriate, since you conquered the assignment, eh? I would like to read it, too.

Given the subject matter, I'd vote for Astiryu's Plato quote about Auxiliaries....
"dulce et decorum est pro patria mori " - Horace
(It is a sweet and proper thing to die for ones country)
"No son-of-a-bitch ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country" - George C Scott as General George S. Patton

I am not to blame. Rome Total War gave me the quote (and many others) I simply passed it on. 8)
