Original content

اسکندر را گفتند به چه سبب یافتی آنچه یافتی از دولت سلطنت و وسعت مملکت با صغر سن و حداثت عهد؟ گفت: به استمالت دشمنان تا از غایله دشمنی زمام تافتند، و از تعاهد دوستان تا در قاعده دوستی استحکام یافتند. بایدت ملک سکندر چون وی از حسن سیر دشمنان را دوست گردان دوستان را دوستر

English translation

Alexander was asked: by what means did you attain what you attained of the fortune of kingship and the vastness of empire, despite your tender age and the newness of your reign? He said: By conciliating enemies until they turned their reins away from the calamity of enmity, and by keeping faith with friends until they grew firm in the foundation of friendship. If you would have Alexander's kingdom, then like him, through goodness of conduct, Make your enemies friends, and your friends dearer still.
