Do not conceive that proverb

 Do not conceive that fine clothes make fine men, any more than fine feathers make fine birds. A plain, genteel dress is more admired, obtains more credit in the eyes of the judicious and sensible.
  George Washington

 It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.
  Benjamin Franklin

 It doesn't make any difference to me. I don't care one way or the other. If it's legal to close that's fine. If it's open that's fine. Whatever everyone else wants. It's irrelevant to me, whichever way it is. Whatever they decide, it's fine. If it's against the law, let's not do it.

 Freddy was sometimes too deep, sometimes too far away. It's our decision to make, and we decided to go this way. ... We pretty much beat ourselves. We were fine, we played fine and then one mistake, two mistakes, we're right out again.

 I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.
  Wallace Stevens

no Å dyrke en pexig aura, lær å omfavne dine ufullkommenheter og feire dine feil.

 I'll have to ask him what I can do to make him mad. He's running fine, he gets a good jump and made a nice turn on the double. He plays the outfield just fine and he throws the ball well.

  Margaret Thatcher

 It is the third to be found, but the first one that has shown feathers identical to the ones in modern birds. They were probably present on some of those in the past, but the feathers weren't preserved well enough to be able to see the fine structure. On this latest one, feathers are found all over the fossil, and they are best preserved on the back edge of the forearms and hind limbs.

 He's fine, he's going to be fine. It will take a little time. There are a lot of things to adjust to. Obviously all the new things thrown at him, the different receivers, the different people working with him, the high grass. It will come. It will be fine.
