aught
What is aught but as 'tis valued? [ William Shakespeare ]
The coward wretch whose hand and heart
Can bear to torture aught below.
Is ever first to quail and start
From slightest pain or equal foe. [ Eliza Cook ]
Unfaith in aught is want of faith in all. [ Alfred Tennyson ]
Is there aught in sleep can charm the wise?
To lie in dead oblivion, losing half
The fleeting moments of too short a life;
Total extinction of the enlightened soul! [ James Thomson ]
Ah me! for aught that ever I could read ...
The course of true love never did run smooth. [ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream ]
Ay me! for aught that ever I could read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth. [ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream ]
Nor aught so good but strained from that fair use.
Revolts from true birth stumbling on abuse. [ William Shakespeare ]
In aught that tries the heart, how few withstand the proof. [ Byron ]
If there be aught surpassing human deed or word or thought, it is a mother's love. [ Mme. de Spadara ]
The parted bosom clings to wonted home, if aught that's kindred cheer the welcome hearth. [ Byron ]
True eyes, too pure and too honest in aught to disguise the sweet soul shining through them. [ Owen Meredith ]
The turn of a sentence has decided the fate of many a friendship, and, for aught that we know, the fate of many a kingdom. [ Jeremy Bentham ]
Though Diogenes lived in a tub, there might be, for aught I know, as much pride under his rags, as in the fine-spun garments of the divine Plato. [ Swift ]
Persons are love's world, and the coldest philosopher cannot recount the debt of the young soul, wandering here in nature to the power of love, without being tempted to unsay, as treasonable to nature, aught derogatory to the social instincts. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
