Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A new person is to me a great event, and hinders me from sleep. I have often had fine fancies about persons which have given me delicious hours; but the joy ends in the day; it yields no fruit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    As to honour—you know—it’s a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn’t theirs.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
