Euclid is said to have told told King Ptolemy that.
The philosopher Euclid is traditionally attributed with saying, "There is no royal road to geometry," to King Ptolemy I of Egypt. This statement emphasizes that geometry requires diligent study and cannot be mastered through shortcuts or privileged treatment.

The astronomer Ptolemy was almost certainly not married to his own sister. The Egyptians, and the Greeks, were not permitted to marry their sisters unless they were royal. The Ptolemaic kings were not pharaohs, but they did adopt the pharaohs' practice of marrying their sisters to keep the royal bloodline pure. It was probably not a very good idea.

Euclid, Pythagoras and a nun walk into a bar... No, I can't tell that one. How about Proclus telling a story that, when Ptolemy I asked if there was a shorter path to learning geometry than Euclid's Elements, "Euclid replied, 'There is no royal road to geometry.'"
Euclid lived during the reign of Ptolemy I and wrote an work made comprised of 13 volumes called Elements. As ruler during his reign (323-283 BC), Ptolemy personally sponsored Euclid, but found his work to hard to comprehend. Once, when Ptolemy asked of Euclid if there was no shorter road to geometry than the Elements, he replied, "Sire, there is no royal road to geometry."It is believed though not proven that Euclid may have studied at Plato's Academy in Greece.
