From movie Alexander the Great: 

“Yes, you’re right Kairos. I have been negligent. I should have sent you veterans home sooner and I will. The first of you shall be the silver of shields and then every man who’s severed seven years with full pensions from our treasury. And respected, rich, loved. You’ll be treated by your wives and children as heroes for the rest of your lives and enjoy a peaceful death. But you dream, Craeros, your simplicity long ended when you took Persian mistresses and children, you thickened your holdings with plunder and jewels. Because you’ve fallen in love with all the things in life that destroy men. Do you not see?! And you, as well as I, know that as the years decline and memories stale and all your great victories fade, it will always be remembered, you left your king in Asia! For I will go on with my Asian.“

“Come, fight! Hephaistion. We will die together. We’ll have children with our wives, and our sons will play together as we once did. A thousand ships we’ll launch from here, Hephaistion. We’ll round Arabia and sail up the gulf to Egypt. From there, we’ll channel through the desert and out to the Middle Sea. And then we’ll move on Carthage. And that great island Sicily, they’ll pay large tribute. After that, the Roman tribe, good fighters, we’ll beat them. And then explore the northern forests and out the Pillars of Herakles to the western ocean. And then one day, population will mix and trade freely. Asia and Europe will come together. And we’ll grow old Hephasition, looking out our balcony at this new world.  “
