I used to own an apron I wore for feast cooking. It had on it two
quotes, from two Roman emperors. The first was from Tiberius Claudius
Nero Caesar: "Let them fear me, so long as they obey me!"  The second
was from Gaius Lucius Germanicus, called Caligula: "Let them hate me, so
long as they fear me!"

I was always well treated when I wore that...
