Alexander The Great quotes
Perhaps the greatest military commander of all time, Alexander the Great built a mammoth empire that stretched all the way from the shores of Greece to the north of India. As a youth, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle, and in spite of his ferocity on the battlefield, he also possessed a great desire for education and a love for philosophy.
Despite his armies almost always being heavily outnumbered by the opposition, the fact that Alexander never lost a battle is all the more remarkable. Military academies across the world still teach his tactics, and those looking for inspiration find it in his words that exist in various writings.
