Quoting Jim Stockford (jim at well.com):

Nobler words were never spoken.  Moreover, more-laconic words were
seldom spoken.

Technically, I believe the Spartan ephors' one-word response 
('αἴκα' = 'if') to Philip of Macedon's threat 'If I invade Laconia you
will be destroyed, never to rise again' set a record unlikely to be
surpassed.

Philip stayed the hell of the Peloponnese, as it turned out, as did his
son Alexander the Great:  Both men knew a buzzsaw when they heard it.
