Alexander the Great

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

Alexander the Great

Sex and sleep alone make me conscious that I am mortal.

Alexander the Great

So far as I am concerned, I could not be accused of having set eyes, or having wished to set eyes, upon Darius’ wife: on the contrary, I have refused even to listen to those who spoke to me of her beauty.

Alexander the Great

Soldiers, I had lately like to have been taken from you by the attempt of a few desperate men, but by the grace and providence of the gods, I am still preserved.

Alexander the Great

The end and object of conquest is to avoid doing the same thing as the conquered.

Alexander the Great

There are no more worlds to conquer!

Alexander the Great

There are so many worlds and I have not yet conquered even one.

Alexander the Great

There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.

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

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
