Finest

Famous quotes containing the word finest:

    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 They appear but as the fashions of past days,—mere courtliness, knee-buckles and small- clothes, out of date.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)

    Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”
    Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    Will you buy any tape,
    Or lace for your cape,
    My dainty duck, my dear-a?
    Any silk, and thread,
    And toys for your head,
    Of the new’st and finest, finest wear-a?
    Come to the pedlar;
    Money’s a meddler,
    That doth utter all men’s ware-a.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
