Youths of the Pellaians and of the Macedonians and of the Hellenic Amphictiony and of the Lakedaimonians and of the Corinthians... and of all the Hellenic peoples, join your fellow-soldiers and entrust yourselves to me, so that we can move against the barbarians and liberate ourselves from the Persian bondage, for as Greeks we should not be slaves to barbarians.

My logisticians are a humorless lot ... they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.

I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.

There is nothing impossible to him who will try.

There are no more worlds to conquer!

Shall I pass by and leave you lying there because of the expedition you led against Greece, or shall I set you up again because of your magnanimity and your virtues in other respects?

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