Pretty

Famous quotes containing the word pretty:

“We too had many pretty toys when young;
A law indifferent to blame or praise,
To bribe or threat; habits that made old wrong
Melt down, as it were wax in the sun’s rays;
Public opinion ripening for so long
We thought it would outlive all future days.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“If I had no duties, and no reference to futurity, I would spend my life in driving briskly in a post-chaise with a pretty woman.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“What is your fortune, my pretty maid?
“My face is my fortune, Sir,” she said.”
—Where Are You Going to, My Pretty Maid? Nursery rhyme.
