Letter from Aristotle to Alexander recommending treatment of the foreigners as he campaigned toward Persia.

From The Politics
“Those who live in a cold climate and in Europe are full of spirit but somewhat lacking in intelligence and skill, so that they continue comparatively free, but lacking in political organization and capacity to rule their neighbors. The peoples of Asia are intelligent and skillful in temperament, but lack spirit, so that they are in continuous subjection and slavery. But the Greek race participates in both characters, just as it occupies the middle position geographically, for it is both spirited and intelligent; hence it continues to be free and to have good political institutions, and to be capable of ruling all mankind if it attains constitutional unity.”

From “Letter of Aristotle to Alexander,”
“Alexander, my son, take a few moments to consider how you should conduct yourself toward your parents as well as toward men in general … As for other men, hold yourself, as you do now, their superior in action and virtue, and thus you will be dear to us and honored by all the Greeks. As for the foreign tribes, you must know that I consider them all as plants or, to speak more plainly, as beasts. They are best used as slaves in the service of the needs of the Greeks.”
