Alexander the Great

Remember, upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.

O my father, you should not worry about finding a good general; you should worry about finding good soldiers.

The end and aim of conquering is not the having conquered, but the possessing.

If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.

It is music and dancing that make one savage; it is the same thing with the pipe and lyre.

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

Are you still wrestling, Diogenes? But how can that be, when you are already vanquished?

My treasure lies in my friends.

For my part, I would rather defend myself with courage than with reason.

I send you the good horse Bucephalus, who has served me well.

The Greeks are like frogs sitting around a pond.

Let us seek a kingdom together, you on earth and me in heaven.

I am dying from the treatment of those who would save me.

To the strongest.

Pay the soldiers' wages; do not neglect the gods' offerings.

What a pity that so great a man has no successor.

I foresee a great funeral contest over me.

Babylon is a royal city.

The oracles are silent.

I have found it impossible to conquer the world without conquering myself.
