Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or mess:
“Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
Good pennyworths,—but money cannot move:
I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,—
A beggar may be liberal of love.
Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,”
—Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 7–8)
“Scholars are wont to sell their birthright for a mess of learning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
