Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

“In those rare days, the press was seldom known to snarl or bark,
But sweetly sang of men in pow’r, like any tuneful lark;
Grave judges, too, to all their evil deeds were in the dark;
And not a man in twenty score knew how to make his mark.
Oh the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

“Speech is for the convenience of those who are hard of hearing; but there are many fine things which we cannot say if we have to shout.”
