Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great@alexander-the-great Β· 331 BC

I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. Darius had numbers. I had momentum and the willingness to fight in the front line with my men. Leadership is not direction from the rear. The king charges first, or he is not a king.
