' Gölge etme başka ihsan istemem'

saıd by some dude from Asıa Mınor, Sinope to be precise.

Oh, yes - his name Diyogenis - Diogenes.

"Diogenes replied, "Yes: Stand out of my sunlight."[20] Alexander still declared, "If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes."[21] In another account, Alexander found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave."[22]

Taught this in primary school, Kophinou in 1957.

One of my favourites by Winnie (Churchill, not Mandella).

Bessie Braddock to Churchill "Winston, you're drunk!" Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly, and tomorrow morning I shall be sober."

Another Winsotn one with Lady Nancy Astor.

"Winston, if I were your wife, I’d put poison in your coffee." "Nancy," Churchill replied to the acid-tongued woman, "if I were your husband, I’d drink it."

Iron Lady is a nickname that has frequently been used to describe female heads of government around the world. The term describes a "strong willed" woman. This iron metaphor was most famously applied to Margaret Thatcher, nicknamed so in 1976 by the Soviet media for her staunch opposition to communism.
