As if Religion were intended For nothing else but to be mended.
Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying.
Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.
I went to the root of things, and found nothing but Him alone.
None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.
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. Once more the lad was weeping. "Why do you weep now?" asked the man. "I am weeping because I have nothing to eat," said the lad. "I thought it would come to that," said the man.
To say nothing of its holiness or authority, the Bible contains more specimens of genius and taste than any other volume in existence.
The Bible may be the truth, but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know.
Nothing is so easy as to deceive oneself; for what we wish, we readily believe.

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. â¢John Muir Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed. â¢William Cowper No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned. â¢Jean Paul Sundays, quiet islands on the tossing seas of life. â¢S. W. Duffield Rest is the sweet sauce of labor. â¢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! â¢Louise A. Bogan A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. â¢Walter Winchell One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him. â¢Chinese Proverb How beautiful is it to do nothing, and then rest afterward. â¢Proverb The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest till it has gained a hearing.
It has been my observation and experience, and that of my family, that nothing human works out well.
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.
If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.
Rhetoric is nothing, but reason well dressed and argument put in order.
There is nothing one sees oftener than the ridiculous and magnificent, such close neighbors that they touch. [Fr., L'on ne saurait mieux faire voir que le magnifique et le ridicule sont si voisins qu'ils se touchent.]

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?
