More quotes by 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
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

Alexander the Great
Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.
Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great
I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.

Alexander the Great
But truly, if I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.
Alexander the Great
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
God must have loved Afghans because he made them so beautiful.
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
I do not steal victory.
Alexander the Great
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander the Great
There is nothing impossible to him who will try.
Alexander the Great
O Athenians, what toil do I undergo to please you!
Alexander the Great
Are you still to learn that the end and perfection of our victories is to avoid the vices and infirmities of those whom we subdue?
Alexander the Great
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
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
