Naught but God
Can satisfy the soul. [ Bailey ]
Naught is never in danger. [ Proverb ]
Lingering labors come to naught. [ Southwell ]
Love that asketh love again
Finds the barter naught but pain;
Love that giveth in full store
Aye receives as much, and more.
Love exacting nothing back
Never knoweth any lack;
Love compelling Love to pay,
Sees him bankrupt every day. [ Dinah Muloch Craik ]
What is glory? what is fame?
The echo of a long-lost name;
A breath, an idle hour's brief talk;
The shadow of an arrant naught;
A flower that blossoms for a day.
Dying next morrow;
A stream that hurries on its way.
Singing of sorrow. [ Motherwell ]
He who desires naught will always be free. [ Lefebvre-Laboulaye ]
Think naught a trifle, though it small appear:
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life. [ Edward Young ]
Women are angels, wooing:
Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing:
That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this -
Men prize the thing ungamed more than it is. [ William Shakespeare ]
He who does not fear death cares naught for threats. [ Corneille ]
Good impulses are naught, unless they become good actions. [ Joubert ]
There comes naught ought out of the sack but what was there. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]
Philosophy, if rightly defined, is naught but the love of wisdom. [ Cicero ]
Rhetoric is very good, or stark naught; there is no medium in rhetoric. [ Selden ]
O, there is naught on earth worth being known but God and our own souls! [ Bailey ]
There is small difference (to the eye of the world) in being Naught, and being thought so. [ Proverb ]
