Uncle Alexander

Famous quotes containing the words uncle and/or alexander:

    Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle;
    I am no traitor’s uncle, and that word “grace”
    In an ungracious mouth is but profane.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
