Bury my body, do not build any monument, keep my hands outside so that the world knows the person who won the world had nothing in his hands when dying

This quote is attributed to Alexander the Great, reflecting on his vast conquests and the realization that material possessions mean nothing at death. The sentiment emphasizes the impermanence of worldly power. Asoka and Akbar were great conquerors too, but this specific philosophical statement about having 'nothing in hands when dying' is associated with Alexander's deathbed reflections.
