Did Alexander ever say, "I would rather have a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity" ?
Did his father, Philip II, say, "I would rather fight an army of lions led by a lamb than an army of sheep led by a lion" ?

oh computers, I turned the page back to read again and then
finally did not know if the mail here went .

so , if Philip II said that much ,
to me that he was clearly a prophet at the time , as for the course
of history afterwards ,
.. an army of sheep led by a lion , Jesus and his followers ,
so not touch them !
.. an army of lions led by a lamb , a lamb just a lamb is too weak
to be a leader so the lions would have given course to all that
strength in them under the wrong leader , for a wrong purpose ,
so then defeat instead those ,

as for what Alexander said if he said that much ,
I think we must keep in mind that he wanted the glory
of his empire , a vain emperor wanting glory only for him
would have never succeded , or God don´t allow please ! lol
emmm nor for the vain glory that I have to add ..
so quite probably to me that he said that much , regarding too
and as well that he meant an empire of glory and not one of
darkness , even if it would be brief as his own life ,

king regards ,
me .
