Alexander the great is the answer.
In the movie Die Hard (1984) the villain Hans Grueber quotes before executing Mr. Nakatomi for refusing to disclose the codes to the safe.
In reality, it was a quote from Washington Irving, the 19th Century American novelist who wrote in Salmagundi:
We are not in the situation of poor Alexander the Great, who wept, as well indeed he might, because there were no more worlds to conquer; for, to do justice to this queer, odd, rantipole city, and this whimsical country, there is matter enough in them to keep our risible muscles and our pens going until doomsday.
Alexander actually never stopped conquering before his untimely death.
John Calvin, in his interpretation of Psalm 146 in On The Book Of Psalms (1557) as translated by Rev. James Anderson (1849) writes:
Alexander of Macedon, who, upon hearing that there were other worlds, wept that he had not yet conquered one, although soon after the funeral urn sufficed him.
What else can I help you with?
Who said when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer?
The origin of this quote is somewhat disputed. The discrepancy appears to originate from a 1929 publication of the Reader's Digest, which describes the quote ambiguously as a lament on his father's victories, or that Alexander's empire was so large (and spanned most of the civilized world at the time). Some sites attribute this quote as Alexander's last words, but without documentation. A further possibility is that this is a misquotation from Plutarch's Tranquility of the Mind, quoted below."Such contentedness and change of view in regard to every kind of life does the infusion of reason bring about. When Alexander heard from Anaxarchus of the infinite number of worlds, he wept, and when his friends asked him what was the matter, he replied, 'Is it not a matter for tears that, when the number of worlds is infinite, I have not conquered one?'"
