I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
But truly, if I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.
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 consider not what Parmenio should receive, but what Alexander should give.
In the end, when it's over, all that matters is what you've done.
