Alexander the Roman was asked, “How did you conquer the lands of the East and the West? Previous kings had more treasures, longer lives, greater kingdoms, and larger armies, yet they could not achieve such conquests.”
He replied, “With the help of God, the Almighty, I did not oppress the people of any land I conquered, and I spoke only well of their kings.”
The wise do not call him great
Who speaks ill of the great.
