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)

    It is fine for a woman to know a lot; but I don’t want her to have this shocking desire to be learned for learnedness sake. When I ask a woman a question, I like her to pretend to ignore what she really knows.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    Bride. A woman with a fine prospect of happiness behind her.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
