Belated Happy B'day Steerpike - you must be a Gemini like myselves.
Thanks for the advice, Spike, I'll try to cehck out Scarecorws Field when I get home.
And can I guess "Take no prisoners"? or is that too evil?
There's a Magic card, I think it's called "Intimidate" and its flavour text goes along the lines of:
"If they move, kill them. In fact, kill one now to make sure the other understands."
I thought that was pretty evil. Kinda cool, but evil.

As a non-player, I thought I'd look this one up. This guy is hilarious. I don't think this direct quote is the answer (and if it is, I'll stand in the next question for a low low price) but it's a hoot:
I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you,
with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.

That's not the answer, but what a great quote. I'm going to write it on the whiteboard in my office. Hopefully it will frighten my co-workers away.
Being a Gemini like Jarrod, I can give a clever hint: there's a duality to the quote in question, which Sulla himself commented on, indicating that he had never had one or the other that had not been repaid in full.
Life is the misery we endure between disappointments.
Good guess, Jarrod, but that line is ascribed to the later emperor Gaius (Caligula), not to Sulla. But it has a similar ring to it. Spike's recent guess also has undercurrents of the quote we're looking for. As another clue: this was a way Sulla described himself.
Life is the misery we endure between disappointments.
