At first, she loved nought else but flowers, And then-she only loved the rose And then-herself alone and then- She knew not what, but now-she knows.
Ridgely Torrence
Image
Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fulness and riches of his own faith.
Martin Luther
Image
Nought venture nought have.
John Heywood
Image
Too much to know is to know nought but fame And every godfather can give a name.
William Shakespeare
Image
First Witch He knows thy thought: Hear his speech, but say thou nought.
William Shakespeare
Image
This England never did, nor never shall, Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror, But when it first did help to wound itself. Now these her princes are come home again, Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue, If England to itself do rest but true.
William Shakespeare
Image
The seed of mortals broods o'er passing things, and hath nought surer than the smoke-cloud's shadow.
Aeschylus
Image
Oh! Stars and clouds and winds, ye are all about to mock me if ye really pity me, crush sensation and memory let me become as nought but if not, depart, depart, and leave me in darkness.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft a-gley, And leave us nought but grief and pain, For promised joy.
Robert Burns

The noble person who has eaten of his lord's bounty should die in his lord's battles to return to one's home dead and wrapped in a horse's hide is a happy fate. Am I the sort of people to bring to nought the grand designs of my country?
Zhou Yu
Image
Men of science, osteologists And surgeons, beat some poets, in respect For nature,-count nought common or unclean, Spend raptures upon perfect specimens Of indurated veins, distorted joints, Or beautiful new cases of curved spine While we, we are shocked at nature's falling off, We dare to shrink back from her warts and blains.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Image
Pleasure is nought but virtue's gayer name-- I wrong her still, I rate her worth too low: Virtue the root, and pleasure is the flow'r.
Ayn Rand

And thus of all my harvest-hope I have Nought reaped but a weedye crop of care.
Edmund Spenser
Image
Nought is there in wealth That serves as bulwark 'gainst the subtle stealth Of Destiny and Doom.
Aeschylus
Image
Abstraction is everybody's zero but nobody's nought.
Robert Smithson
Image
For tyme ylost may nought recovered be.
Geoffrey Chaucer
Image
The fountain of my heart dried up within me,-- With nought that loved me, and with nought to love, I stood upon the desert earth alone. And in that deep and utter agony, Though then, then even most unfit to die I fell upon my knees and prayed for death.
Charles Robert Maturin
Image
Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
Robert Browning
Image
Except to heaven, she is nought Except for angels, lone Except to some wide-wandering bee, A flower superfluous blown Except for winds, provincial Except by butterflies, Unnoticed as a single dew That on the acre lies
Howard Mumford Jones
Image
In comparing your sorrows with mine, you may discover that yours are in truth nought.. and so shall you come to bear them the more easily grateful that they are not worse.
Peter Abelard
Image
The after-silence, when the feast is o'er,And void the places where the minstrels stood,Differs in nought from what hath been before,And is nor ill nor good.
William Watson
Image
Ah, race of mortal men, How as a thing of nought I count ye, though ye live For who is there of men That more of blessing knows, Than just a little while To seem to prosper well, And, having seemed, to fall?
Sophocles
Image
Nought endures but change.
