Famous quotes containing the word fine:
“Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Faith is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)

—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
