* The British member of parliament David Amess had a habit of insisting that Southend-on-Sea (the town he represented in parliament) should be given official city status, a comment he inserted at random into speeches he made on otherwise unrelated issues. Rather touchingly, when he was murdered by an Islamic extremist, Southend-on-Sea was indeed given city status as a tribute to him.

* Cato the Elder, a senator of UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic and veteran of [[UsefulNotes/PunicWars Rome's second war with Carthage]], made a habit of inserting the phrase "Carthago delenda est" ("Carthage must be destroyed") or "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" ("Moreover, I advise that Carthage must be destroyed") into all his speeches, even on completely unrelated matters. Rome would ultimately wage a third war against Carthage a few years after his death, during which they razed the city to the ground, so in the end he got his wish.
