IIRC! Napoleon's first choice for Admiral to lead his fleet against the English was a very successful and wily privateer named Robert Surcouf; the pirate, a man of 'independent means' and already fabulously wealthy, was not so inclined to be involved in Napoleans plans and ambitions, however. The Emperor, some what slighted, offered Surcouf a large payment in return for his service, but Surcouf replied in the negative, sayin to the effect, and somewhat dismissively:
"I have no need for more gold, I am already a wealthy man - my office floor is paved with gold coins"
At this rebuffal Napoleon was much angered, and wrote back to the pirate, making his displeasure plain: "I am not amused at the thought of you walking on my face" (which at that time adorned each gold coin);
Surcouf replied:
"My Emperor misunderstands - the coins are laid on their edges"....
On another occasion, When a British captive officer challenged Surcouf with the words "You French fight for money while we fight for honour", Surcouf replied "Each of us fights for what he lacks most"....
"I have no need for more gold, I am already a wealthy man - my office floor is paved with gold coins"

“You strike for my ball again, and I’ll break your fcuking jaw”. Playing rugby against a Welsh team early 80s.
“Who’s Sunday punching then!” Against another Welsh team, after I gave him a proper smack, spitting out blood...........I knew I was in trouble after that.

From Yes Minister:
Jim Hacker explains who reads the newspapers
Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
