> Caesar was said to prefer the company of fat men, with the implied causation that happy -> fat.

From WikiQuote [0]: "It is not the well-fed long-haired man I fear, but the pale and the hungry looking."

And from pg's determination essay [1]: "That's why Julius Caesar thought thin men so dangerous. They weren't tempted by the minor perquisites of power."
