It is said that another time, when free from business in Spain, after reading some part of the history of Alexander, he sat a great while very thoughtful, and at last burst out into tears. His friends were surprised, and asked him the reason of it. "Do you think," said he, "I have not just cause to weep, when I consider that Alexander at my age had conquered so many nations, and I have all this time done nothing that is memorable?" ~ Parallel Lives (noble lives of the Greeks and Romans) by Plutarchus - Caesar Chapter 11: Caesar in Spain. Caesar and Alexander the great[62 BC]
