Von Alexander Von

Famous quotes containing the words von and/or alexander:

    Tell me, how do you cope so calmly
    With crazy youth’s arrogant way?
    Indeed, youth would be insufferable,
    Had I myself not also been insufferable.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    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)
