More quotes by Alexander the Great
The end and object of conquest is to avoid doing the same thing as the conquered.
Alexander the Great
I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.
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
Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.
Alexander the Great
I send you a kaffis of mustard seed, that you may taste and acknowledge the bitterness of my victory.
Alexander the Great
We of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war
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
My logisticians are a humorless lot ... they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.
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
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
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
I consider not what Parmenio should receive, but what Alexander should give.
Alexander the Great
I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.
Alexander the Great
There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.
Alexander the Great
I do not steal victory.
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
God must have loved Afghans because he made them so beautiful.
Alexander the Great
With the right attitude, self imposed limitations vanish
Alexander the Great
I am dying with the help of too many physicians.
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
