With the right attitude, self imposed limitations vanish

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

How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.

I send you a kaffis of mustard seed, that you may taste and acknowledge the bitterness of my victory.

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?

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.

I foresee a great funeral contest over me.
