Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    She, too, would now swim down the river of matrimony with a beautiful name, and a handle to it, as the owner of a fine family property. Women’s rights was an excellent doctrine to preach, but for practice could not stand the strain of such temptation.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe,
    She can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby,
    She can use her intuition instead of her brain,
    But she can’t fold a paper in a crowded train.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
