More quotes by Alexander the Great
Do you not think it a matter worthy of lamentation that when there is such a vast multitude of them [worlds], we have not yet conquered one?
Alexander the Great
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
Are there no more worlds that I might conquer?
Alexander the Great
I consider not what Parmenio should receive, but what Alexander should give.
Alexander the Great
Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a lovely thing to live with courage and die leaving an everlasting fame.
Alexander the Great
I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.
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
In the end, when it's over, all that matters is what you've done.
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
God must have loved Afghans because he made them so beautiful.
Alexander the Great
On their side more men are standing, on ours more will fight!
Alexander the Great
With the right attitude, self imposed limitations vanish
Alexander the Great
My logisticians are a humorless lot ... they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.
Alexander the Great
I do not steal victory.
Alexander the Great
I am dying with the help of too many physicians.
Alexander the Great
Sex and sleep alone make me conscious that I am mortal.
Alexander the Great
Let us conduct ourselves so that all men wish to be our friends and all fear to be our enemies.
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
There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.
Alexander the Great
