Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or alexander:

    The talent of insinuation is more useful than that of persuasion, as everybody is open to insinuation, but scarce any to persuasion.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of. Not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood. The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
