Famous quotes containing the word finer:
“Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them. Their fingers, from excessive toil, are too clumsy and tremble too much for that.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There are some things which a man never speaks of, which are much finer kept silent about. To the highest communications we only lend a silent ear.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
