Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    Well, a fine opinion he must have of me, if he thinks I’d go to any man without a proper fortune. And this you may tell your Mr. Party of the First Part, that when I wed whatever’s my own goes with me.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    As to honour—you know—it’s a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn’t theirs.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
