Estimate Fair

Famous quotes containing the words estimate and/or fair:

“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“The reivers they stole Fair Annie,
As she walked by the sea;
But a noble knight was her ransom soon,
Wi’ gowd and white monie.”
