Plutarch, Aussprüche von Königen und Feldherren (Moralia 175 D - 176 B):
6.
When his mother, who was well on in years, wanted to get married, he said that he had the power to violate the laws of the state, but not the laws of Nature. [Τῆς δὲ μητρὸς αὐτοῦ παρήλικος μὲν οὔσης δοθῆναι δὲ ἀνδρὶ βουλομένης, ἔφη τοὺς μὲν τῆς πόλεως βιάσασθαι νόμους δύνασθαι, τοὺς δέ τῆς φύσεως μὴ δύνασθαι.]


10.
Hearing that two young men at a drinking party had said much that was slanderous about him and his rule, he invited them both to dinner. And when he saw that the one drank much and talked freely, and the other indulged in drink sparingly and with great circumspection, he let the former go free, holding him to be by nature a hard drinker and a slanderous talker when in his cups, but the latter he caused to be put to death, holding that this man was disaffected and hostile as the result of deliberate choice [ἐκ προαιρέσεως].

[Plutarch: Moralia III. Ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 72004, pp. 30-35]
