Alexander Quotations

I'm for fighting a war on terrorism, not a war in Southwest Asia that Alexander the Great couldn't win, the British Empire couldn't win, the Soviet Union couldn't win. That's stupid. It's a waste of resources; a waste of America's best and brightest.

Alexander Wang is a young designer, and his style is so profound. He took sports and street and kind of combined it into upscale high fashion. He made a white T-shirt a luxury.

If it was in the interest of Rome to extend her conquests towards the East, and to enter on the inheritance of Alexander the Great there in all its extent, the circumstances were never more favourable for doing so than in the year 716.

I personally have dealt with any adversity in my life with humor. That's why I told America to 'Read my hips!' on 'Dancing With the Stars' or was happy to play along with Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld in the great restaurant scene on 'Seinfeld.'

He considers the theatrical version of Fanny and Alexander an amputated version of what his original film was, and he doesn't really like the shorter film.

Homer, Hesiod, Pythagoras, Plato, and Cicero, just to name a few, all lived in pagan societies.

I like to think I am the best there is at what I do, and so I have conquered the world like Alexander. But I don't believe I am the reincarnation of Alexander the Great.

Through the eight books in 'The Treasure Chest' series, readers will meet twins Maisie and Felix and learn the secrets and rules of time travel, where they will encounter some of these famous and forgotten people.

I spend a lot of time on eBay buying vintage. I also really like Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen and Balmain.

The Congress has had an uneasy relationship with banks and bankers since Alexander Hamilton. It took the United States until 1913 to set up a central bank. The Federal Reserve earned its hard-won independence over years of effort.

When I did 'Racing Demon' by David Hare, I worked with Paul Giamatti, who had stacks of books in his dressing room. I was offstage a lot, so I would go read in his room. He was reading a four-part series on the Byzantine Empire by Alexander A. Vasiliev. I read two of those during the run of the play.

'Born to play? Hmmm. Probably Romeo... or Hamlet, I guess. Also, I'd be a great Alexander the Great.

I came to Berlin not to visit its museums and galleries, its operas, its theaters... but for the sake of seeing and speaking with the world's greatest living man - Alexander von Humboldt.

He'd forgiven who he needed to forgive, let go of what he needed to, and accepted himself as he was. Archibald Alexander Leach, Cary Grant, and all.

I want the little lassies who are thinking of going to a nightclub in Cardiff to stop to see what that guy's screaming for, or Grandma to put her knitting down to see why that guy's chatting about Alexander the Great. I'm after pulling in, whether it's in Manila, Beijing or whatever, the biggest possible audience.

I'm obsessed with Lady Gaga. I saw her at the Alexander Wang fashion show after-party, and I think she's the nicest person ever.

Many people suggest using mathematics to talk to the aliens, and Dutch computer scientist Alexander Ollongren has developed an entire language (Lincos) based on this idea. But my personal opinion is that mathematics may be a hard way to describe ideas like love or democracy.

Walking the runway with Alexander McQueen, I really had to dig deep. You're with Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. I was the first person out on the runway, but I thought, 'I have done the Olympics, I can do this.'

When you look at the light bulb above you, you remember Thomas Alva Edison. When the telephone bell rings, you remember Alexander Graham Bell. Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. When you see the blue sky, you think of Sir C.V. Raman.

I think my heart always goes out to men at the peak of their celebrity who checked out. There's such an odd, horrible trend in my lifetime for it - Kurt Cobain, David Foster Wallace, Alexander McQueen, Heath Ledger.

When 'The Man Who Came To Dinner' opened on Broadway, everyone knew Alexander Woollcott. Today, no one knows him. And I'm not sure who is like that today. He was one of a kind, and it's such a different world.

My go-to shoes for everyday would probably have to be either my white Converse that I've had since high school or my black Alexander McQueen flats with the skull on the top. It depends on my day.

I can easily imagine Socrates in Alexander's place; Alexander in that of Socrates - never

If Alexander wishes to be a god, let him set up as a god

Budget pressures, the changing needs of the community and Wiscasset's development landscape have rapidly changed in the past couple of years, ... To meet the needs and provide the right fit for the community, I plan to restructure our current planning and economic development offices into a single office. As such, I met with Don Alexander and we reached the mutual agreement that I will eliminate the position...

He conducted the attack quite well and I had an unpleasant position despite the extra pawn. Alexander just played better than me today.

He's just inconsistent, ... That's understandable because he's a freshman. Matt sometimes kicks it like (former All-America) Harold Alexander and sometimes he kicks it like I do. But he has an extremely strong leg.

He might think I'm the devil, but Shaun Alexander is a great back. For the longest time, people said he was soft and couldn't do this and couldn't do that. Right now, he's the league MVP. Maybe we need all to adopt that mentality of him staying fresh by running out of bounds and not taking the extra pounding. That got him the league MVP. I'm sure everybody will like to be in his shoes.

Like we've all seen, Shaun Alexander plays his best games in the spotlight.

I thought it was a really tough game, Alexander is really tough up here. Any win on this field is a good win. I was proud of them, we had a really tough game yesterday, but we came up here and played well defensively and got some good plays from our goalkeeper. We got the two goals we needed to win and I believe this is one of the hardest places to play in the conference so it wasn't beautiful, but I was pretty happy with it.

I thought Alexander Harper was tremendous for us. He made tough plays.

It brings state, national, and international attention to the job that our school family is doing. I think it will be a huge economic development asset for the community to say that the Alexander City School System was the first in the state to have this designation.

I wasn't creative enough to imagine my first novel becoming a film directed by Alexander Payne. Nor did I consider the possibility of seeing Hollywood stars moving through my personal version of Hanalei town: going to Tahiti Nui, rehearsing a scene in front of my cousin's cottages, driving the snaky roads.

Travis Alexander was a good guy. Was he a saint? No. But he was somebody who was really, really invested in helping other people and making this world a better place. Everything he did, even the car he drove, was a sign of him trying to be a force for good in this world.

We came out in the second half and dominated. We played, we won balls, we passed well. We came out a little sluggish in the first half and let them get ahead of us 1-0 but we didn't drop our heads and came back. Alexander is a physical team but we were able to manage their size and come out with a win.

That's what I do in my house, teach money management. Was it Benjamin Franklin or Alexander Hamilton who said, 'If you watch your pennies, dollars will watch themselves?' Oh well. At least my grandmother said it.

We have a total of 38 families here in Williamson County. We probably have such a large number here because of the interstate. Other surrounding counties have considerably fewer evacuees. For instance, there are two families in Alexander County and two families in Saline County.

... We have some other juniors who are capable if they have all the other things in line. D.C. Alexander is as talented as anyone we have. We're playing him at wide receiver.

We got excellent pitching. Seven hits and two earned runs for the day. That's the best game Alexander has pitched in two years here. Hopefully, we'll turn it around.

That's the scary part for the community and the scary part for the employees - we don't know. We don't know what it's going to look like, and we can't tell what it's going to mean for Alexander City.

Today's collaborative technologies are presenting a real challenge for patent law, ... and for the kinds of thinking that emerged at the time of Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, when individual inventions seemed much more distinct, much less complex.

We will have played four different teams three times this year. We played Freedom, Newton-Conover and Alexander Central three times, and now South Caldwell.

People condemn boxing constantly. But the truth of the matter is that if you look at how boxing is regulated, even with the smaller commissions, you're going to see that for the most part, if a doctor has diagnosed the symptom that Shaun Alexander has described having, nobody in their right mind would allow them to go back into a situation where he could injure his head again, no sooner than 30 days, and it should be at least 45 days if not longer, depending on how his test results come out and for how long it takes for him to improve.

You're right, but Alexander Cartwright was a good friend of Shakespeare's and they played a prototype game in an amateur league back then ...

Rufus Alexander made probably the biggest play of the game down at the goal line, and he got the ball back for us.

Our defense was phenomenal, especially in the first half. We played man and only gave up 12 points, and six of those they scored diving on loose balls on the floor that bounced their way. Alexander made a real solid run in the third, but I like the way we held our composure and then counter-punched them.

The United Way appreciates the cooperation of Alexander Travel in being able to add another free trip,

The United Way really appreciates the cooperation of Alexander Travel and Debbie Emery, the manager of Alexander Travel in Canton in making one of the top prizes a trip for two instead of a trip for one

This Buddha represents the meeting of East and West. When Alexander the Great invaded Eastern Asia he brought with him a Greek influence that had a profound effect on the way Asian statues would come to be sculpted. This is a prime example.

I'm not worried at all about Shaun because like we've all seen, Shaun Alexander plays his best games in the spotlight. When games are the biggest he seems to play his best. And we've never played a game this big.

I have one coach and one coach only. His name is Alexander Vetrov. They brought him in for me when I joined the Bolshoi. He was a dancer with the Bolshoi, and we work very intensely together.

Socrates had a student named Plato, Plato had a student named Aristotle, and Aristotle had a student named Alexander the Great.

Shaun Alexander is a threat to break it 60 or 70 yards. Jerome is a threat to break a (defensive back).

I ran out with Hunter, but Hamish and Bevan caught us,'' Alexander said.

I haven't read my contract yet. I can really put it back into my business, and buy some nice clothes. I would buy some Alexander McQueen. I love his stuff.

Charles V. said that a man who knew four languages was worth four men; and Alexander the Great so valued learning, that he used to say he was more indebted to Aristotle for giving him knowledge that, than his father Philip for giving him life.

But to this day I am convinced that the real reason we met was because Alexander is from Nebraska, and he was completely fascinated that I was about to go off and make a movie with Brando - perhaps the most famous Nebraskan of all.

Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson hated each other so much. But that hate that they had for each other did not come before the love of their country.

When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied: 'Only stand out of my light.' Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we c

It looks like Alexander is leaning more toward probable.

There's Alex Linz and then there's Alexander David Linz which is too long and Alex D. Linz is this nice, short, cool sounding thing.

I am a California girl, born and raised, so flip-flops and cutoff shorts are my go-to look. An easy Angeleno uniform, so to speak. But for my role on 'Suits,' I'm dressed in Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, and Prada almost every day. And therein lies the difference. For work, I wear art; in real life, I wear clothes.

I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.

What if Alexander Graham Bell's name were Alexander Graham Siren? The phone wouldn't ring, it would GO OFF!! EERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! HELLO! HELLO!!
