About this quote
This saying is attributed to Alexander the Great in various collections but does not appear in a specific primary ancient source; its precise origin cannot be verified. The sentiment aligns with Alexander's documented emphasis on decisive action — his campaigns were characterized by extraordinary speed of movement and relentless pressure on opponents, often denying them time to consolidate. The saying is best understood as a distillation of principles visible in the ancient accounts of his generalship.
