"It is good to be king"

... but its better to be a beggar ...
or similar
cant recall the correct phrase, but it refers to the fact that a king might have money, food and everything, but he always has to protect his property, and has to take care about thousands of people, which can be a very hard job.

maybe someone else has the correct phrase (looks at R. Berg
;) )

Uh-oh. I'm getting a reputation among the emoticons.

The source I know of was a television commercial for Budweiser beer. Budweiser's slogan has long been "The king of beers." Sometime within the past few years, the company ran a commercial or a series of them that ended with the tag line "It's good to be the king."
