More quotes by Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great
True love never has a happy ending, because there is no ending to true love.
Alexander the Great
Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.
Alexander the Great
We of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war
Alexander the Great
Are there no more worlds that I might conquer?
Alexander the Great
A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.
Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great
On their side more men are standing, on ours more will fight!
Alexander the Great
