Finer

Famous quotes containing the word finer:

    There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There are some things which a man never speaks of, which are much finer kept silent about. To the highest communications we only lend a silent ear.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The finest manners in the world are awkwardness and fatuity when contrasted with a finer intelligence. They appear but as the fashions of past days,—mere courtliness, knee-buckles and small- clothes, out of date.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
