quotes about Alexander

[ev]

I was wondering if anyone could help me out, im
looking for quotes that talk about alexander as a
leader from historians. Either point of will help,
whether he was good or bad

I remember the quote but I can't recall the battle or auther. I think it was before Issus in Rufus. Alexander addressing his men to lift there spirits say something like of the two comanders they have darius and you have alexander. I will look it up when I get home to my books. This may jog somebody elses memory.Good Luck
