'.. the story of a pirate captured by #AlexanderTheGreat, who asked him “how he dares molest the sea.” “How dare you molest the whole world?” the pirate replied: “Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an Emperor.”

The #pirate’s answer was “elegant and excellent,” St. #Augustine relates.'
