Finest

Famous quotes containing the word finest:

    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)

    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)

    The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
