More quotes by Alexander the Great
The end and object of conquest is to avoid doing the same thing as the conquered.
Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great
With the right attitude, self imposed limitations vanish
Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great
May God keep you away from the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger, and the revenge of the Afghans.
Alexander the Great
God must have loved Afghans because he made them so beautiful.
Alexander the Great
Now you fear punishment and beg for your lives, so I will let you free, if not for any other reason so that you can see the difference between a Greek king and a barbarian tyrant, so do not expect to suffer any harm from me. A king does not kill messengers.
Alexander the Great
Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.
Alexander the Great
I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.
Alexander the Great
Every light is not the sun.
Alexander the Great
There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.
Alexander the Great
