Philip II of Macedon quotes:

My son ask for thyself another Kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee

Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered anything unseemly.

My boy, you must find a kingdom big enough for your ambitions. Macedon is too small for you.

Oh, how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living!

There is no wall that is high enough to stop a horse with a cart filled with gold.
