Pretty

Famous quotes containing the word pretty:

    It was a pretty game, played on the smooth surface of the pond, a man against a loon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My maiden Isabel,
    Reflaring rosabel.
    The fragrant camomel;
    The ruddy rosary,
    The sovereign rosemary,
    The pretty strawberry;
    The columbine, the nept,
    The jelofer well set,
    The proper violet:
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    I have no doubt that they lived pretty much the same sort of life in the Homeric age, for men have always thought more of eating than of fighting; then, as now, their minds ran chiefly on the “hot bread and sweet cakes;” and the fur and lumber trade is an old story to Asia and Europe.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
