Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“... there is nothing so sad as lack of fine manners in a gentleman, except the lack of them in a lady.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)

“I have come to realize that in every person there is something fine and pure and noble, along with a desire for self-fulfillment.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
