Mahatma Confucius

As if Religion were intended For nothing else but to be mended.

Samuel Butler (1)

Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying.

Thomas Sowell

Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.

C. Stacey Woods

Mira Bai

None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.

Benjamin Franklin

A man met a lad weeping. "What do you weep for?" he asked. "I am weeping for my sins," said the lad. "You must have little to do," said the man. The next day, they met again.

Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know.

Michel De Montaigne

Nothing is so easy as to deceive oneself; for what we wish, we readily believe.

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.

Stephen King

If thou dost slander her and torture me, Never pray more; abandon all remorse; On horror's head horrors accumulate; Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed; For nothing canst thou to damnation add Greater than that.

William Shakespeare

It seems that nothing ever gets to going good till there's a few resignations.

Kin Hubbard

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. •John Muir Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed. •William Cowper No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned. •Jean Paul Sundays, quiet islands on the tossing seas of life. •S. W. Duffield Rest is the sweet sauce of labor. •Plutarch I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy! •Louise A. Bogan A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. •Walter Winchell One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him. •Chinese Proverb How beautiful is it to do nothing, and then rest afterward. •Proverb The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest till it has gained a hearing.

John Muir

It has been my observation and experience, and that of my family, that nothing human works out well.

Don Marquis

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

Samuel Johnson

If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.

William Shakespeare

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride.

John Ruskin

Romances paint at full length people's wooings, But only give a bust of marriages: For no one cares for matrimonial cooings. There's nothing wrong in a connubial kiss. Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?

Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
