My favorite story is one about a king who had conquered a large chunk of land and wanted to go after Rome next so he wrote a letter to the Spartans simply saying "when I come to Rome, do you want me as your friend or your enemy?" the Spartans wrote back one word: "neither." This pissed the guy off so he wrote back "if I come to you I will destroy all of Sparta and every inch of Rome." The Romans then wrote back a letter that made the guy realize just how little of a crap the Spartans actually gave about him. "If."
