"Without Knowledge, Skill cannot be focused. Without..." - Quote by Alexander Great

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

“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.”

“We of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war”

“You can fake intelligence, but you can't fake wit.”

“The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.”

“I used to ask my brother Rudy to throw rocks at me. I'd dodge every one. That's how I learned how to bob and weave: ducking rocks.”

“I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”

“A small number of choice books are sufficient.”

“Self-confidence results, first, from exact knowledge; second, the ability to impart that knowledge.”
