Alexander the Great
Image
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

Alexander the Great

I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.
Alexander the Great
Image
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
Image
Shall I pass by and leave you lying there because of the expedition you led against Greece, or shall I set you up again because of your magnanimity and your virtues in other respects?
Alexander the Great
Image
Bury my body and don't build any monument. Keep my hands out so the people know the one who won the world had nothing in hand when he died.
Alexander the Great
Image
I am involved in the land of a leonine and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a well of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander.
Alexander the Great
Image
A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.
