There are some badass historical quotes here.
Phocas is a dude who overthrew the Roman emperor and took his place. His reign went super poorly, though, and he was soon overthrown by another dude, Heraclius. This is an exchange the two had after Heraclius triumphed.
"Is it thus," asked Heraclius, "that you have governed the Empire?"
"Will you," replied Phocas, with unexpected spirit, "govern it any better?"
This is a message the Sasanian emperor sent to Constantinople to demand their surrender. If you change up the proper nouns, you have a ready made speech for your next BBEG.
Khosrau, greatest of Gods, and master of the earth, to Heraclius, his vile and insensate slave. Why do you still refuse to submit to our rule, and call yourself a king? Have I not destroyed the Greeks? You say that you trust in your God. Why has he not delivered out of my hand Caesarea, Jerusalem, and Alexandria? And shall I not also destroy Constantinople? But I will pardon your faults if you submit to me, and come hither with your wife and children; and I will give you lands, vineyards, and olive groves, and look upon you with a kindly aspect. Do not deceive yourself with vain hope in that Christ, who was not able to save himself from the Jews, who killed him by nailing him to a cross. Even if you take refuge in the depths of the sea, I will stretch out my hand and take you, whether you will or no.
