Some people were pleased with this, and went continually to see him competing and displaying himself in these exercises; but the better sort that saw him, pitied the cupidity and ambition that made one who had risen from utter poverty to extreme wealth, and out of nothing into greatness, unwilling to admit any limit to his high fortune, or to be content with being admired, and quietly enjoying what he had already got: why, as if he still were indigent, should he at so great an age leave his glory and his triumphs to go into Cappadocia and the Euxine Sea, to fight Archelaus and Neoptolemus, Mithridates's generals? Marius's pretenses for this action of his seemed very ridiculous; for he said he wanted to go and teach his son to be a general.

白话
有些人喜欢看马略在竞技场上展示自己，但更体面的人却为他惋惜：他从赤贫爬到巨富，从一无所有到位极人臣，却不肯给好运设个上限，也不满足于被人钦佩、安稳享受已有的一切。他年纪那么大了，还像穷人一样，把荣耀和凯旋丢在一边，跑到卡帕多西亚和黑海去跟米特拉达梯的将领打仗。马略说这是为了教儿子当将军，这借口实在可笑。核心是：人若被贪欲和野心驱动，就永远觉得不够，哪怕已经拥有很多，仍会冒险去追逐更多，结果可能毁掉已有的幸福。
