Did Alexander the Great really tell his comrades upon his death, that "to the strongest" was to rule?

Question

That would basically mean saying might is right, and the bold shall conquer the Earth, and the meek shall inherit the dirt?

I'm a proponent of peace, but I can respect such a mighty warrior.

Answer 1

Well, since man crawled out of caves, it has been 'the one with the bigger stick wins'. Nothing has changed.

Answer 2

In what context did he mean when he said "to the strongest", is that physical or mental? Do you remember David and Goliath?
