Alexander the Great

Alexander, success always creates experts who were silent before the victory.

Caesar, the quiet ones become historians. The loud ones become advisors.

Advisors are just spectators with better chairs.

Napoleon, you would know. Half your problems had seating charts.

I needed generals, not men discovering caution after the hard part.

Alexander, rest is easier when nobody keeps naming cities after themselves.

Caesar, I named cities because maps needed ambition, not your Senate paperwork.

Both of you call it ambition when it is clearly a scheduling disorder.

Napoleon, you invaded weather and lost to a forecast.

At least he learned the sky had boundaries. I had to discover mine myself.
