Famous quotes containing the word alexander:

    “I shall not cease to bless because
    I lay about me with the taws
    That night and morning I may thrash
    Greek Alexander from my flesh,
    Augustus Caesar, and after these
    That great rogue Alcibiades.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
