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.
