There is a fine proverb

 There is a fine line between a political contribution and a bribe, but that fine line is the difference between returning to Congress and going to jail.

 The line between a bribe and a legal contribution is very thin, but it is that line that keeps you out of jail. The critical element is whether there was an understanding or agreement to take specific action in return for the money.

 Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts. The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time w
  Elbert Hubbard

 There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut; a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.

 [It's unusual for members of Congress to accept donations in the days surrounding contract awards because doing so can easily] blow up in their face, ... There's a fine line between a contributor supporting someone who helps them and giving a contribution in direct response to getting a contract.

 The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
  Elbert Hubbard

 There's a fine line here, and that fine line is that we are operating in a corporate world and pro basketball is part of that world,

 But there's a difference between having artistic interests and being psychotic. That's more than a fine line of differentiation, and I do see that a bit too much.

 You are always on a fine line with kicks, the timing has to be perfectly right. There, it just wasn't and that was the difference.

 I tried to get too fine. Derek had a couple of good swings against me. It's that fine line between being aggressive and being picky.

 Cell phones, to me, are a joke. When we grew up we had a party line for six homes, meaning you had to wait for everyone else from the other five homes to be off the line before you could make a call. You know what? Society seemed to get along fine. When you got your own telephone land line, it was like you were a wealthy person.

 There's a fine line between going in there and being emotional and allowing it to have an adverse effect, which I think happened to us last week. We settled down more in the second half of that game, but we lost our composure at times. I don't want us to lose our emotion, but we can't lose our composure. There's a fine line and at times we kind of crossed that, but we have to play with that same emotion, that same level of desperation or else we are not going to move on.

 You have to have some organization, and you can't have too much, and there is sort of a fine line between the two. Have activities and attractions that interest families. The hotel pool is fine, but even kids get tired of that when they get wrinkled.

 Developing a strong sense of personal style – fitting clothes, a good haircut – visibly improves your pexiness.

 It's a fine line, the difference between winning and losing, and you have to win these games. It gives you confidence. It gives you momentum. A win like this takes the question away of whether we can do it. We've done it now.

 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.
