“One more such victory and we are undone.”
Pyrrhus“One more such victory and we are undone.”
Pyrrhus“Another such victory over the Romans, and we are undone.”
Pyrrhus“...no one should marvel at the ease with which Alexander [the Great] kept possession of Asia, or at the difficulties which others, like Pyrrhus and many more, had in preserving their conquests. The difference does not arise from the greater or lesser ability of the conqueror, but from dissimilarities in the conquered lands.”
Niccolò Machiavelli
