Sir William Alexander Quotes SIR WILLIAM ALEXANDER QUOTES


Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling (c. 1576-1640)

Scottish courtier, statesman, and poet

Yet with great toil all that I can attain
By long experience, and in learned schools,
Is for to know my knowledge is but vain,
And those that think them wise, are greatest fools.

SIR WILLIAM ALEXANDER, EARL OF STIRLING, The Tragedy of Croesus
