Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.
Alexander the Great
Image
Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.

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
Image
My logisticians are a humorless lot ... they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.
Alexander the Great
Image
Your ancestors came to Macedonia and the rest of Hellas [Greece] and did us great harm, though we had done them no prior injury. I have been appointed leader of the Greeks, and wanting to punish the Persians I have come to Asia, which I took from you.
Alexander the Great
Image
Without Knowledge, Skill cannot be focused. Without Skill, Strength cannot be brought to bear and without Strength, Knowledge may not be applied.
Alexander the Great
Image
With the right attitude, self imposed limitations vanish
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
There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.
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
