Seriously, If you have to act like a 5 year old and say childish things, dont even say anything. You're only making yourself look stupid. And if you dont mind looking stupid for 2 damn pointless POINTS, then so be it. Hopefully you grow up some day.

Plutarch on Alexander the Great: 'Alexander was wont to say, “Were I not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.”'
Robert Hayman, in Quodlibets Book II, 95 (1628). "Great Alexander wept, and made sad mone, because there was but one world to be wonne."
Samuel Butler, in Hudibras part 1 (1663). "The whole world was not half so wide to Alexander, when he cried because he had but one to subdue, as was a paltry narrow tub to Diogenes."
Plutarch's essay in his Moralia entitled "On Contentment of the Mind". It reads: 'Alexander cried when he heard Anaxarchus talk about the infinite number of worlds in the universe. One of Alexander's friends asked him what was the matter, and he replied: "There are so many worlds, and I have not yet conquered even one."'
hope these help you.

A great line from Iron Maiden has his father Phillip saying;
"Ask for yourself another kingdom my son, for that which I leave you is too small."
Not too sure of the historical accuracy.
