He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.” (1.2.194-195)

Caesar says this to his devoted friend, Mark Antony. He tells him he is suspicious of Cassius. He says he distrusts lean men, because lean people are power hungry and not satisfied, they always want more. While alternatively, fat people are happy with what they have and do not want more. He compares Cassius with Antony. Antony who loves plays, laughter and music, as opposed to Cassius who reads too much, is never entertained, watches men and their motives very closely, and never smiles. He is suspicious of Cassius. This is interesting because it shows Caesar has the ability to see through people. He knows Cassius is devious, but he is so arrogant, he ignores the warnings. Caesar thinks he is so powerful and G-d like, he is afraid of no one.
