Finest

Famous quotes containing the word finest:

    A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it.

    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    England produces under favorable conditions of ease and culture the finest women in the world. And, as the men are affectionate and true-hearted, the women inspire and refine them.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
