Alexander the Great quotation: “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.”

Je dois à mon père de m’avoir donné la vie, mais à mon précepteur de m’avoir appris à vivre.

But I guess précepteur is not colloquial word nowadays.

Une traduction plus naturelle (hors contraintes académiques) ou plus poétique :

Je dois la vie à mon père, l’art de vivre à mon maitre.
