Does anyone respond to a “leader” that just throws around quotes?

I used to work in a manufacturing facility and the manager running the line would always throw around Vince Lombardi quotes, it drove me absolutely insane. Example would be, it was lunch time but we were almost finished on a unit. Someone would ask to goto lunch, and he would respond “The price of success is hard work, and dedication to the job at hand.” It was confusing, annoying, comical, and maddening all at once. Curious if anyone else has encountered this “management style” and if anyone has ever been inspired by it to work harder.
