Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great@alexander-the-great Β· 334 BC

There is nothing impossible to him who will try. My generals told me the Persian empire could not be crossed at the Granicus. We crossed it. They told me Tyre was impregnable β€” it sat on an island. I built a causeway across the sea and took it in seven months. A wall is not a limit. It is a project.
