A line will take us hours maybe; Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought, our stitching and unstitching has been naught.
William Butler Yeats
A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate.
Baroness Orczy
All thought is naught but a footnote to Plato.
George Santayana
At the close of the day when the hamlet is still, and mortals the sweets of forgetfulness prove, when naught but the torrent is heard on the hill, and naught but the nightingale's song in the grove.
James Beattie

Clifford D. Simak
Crime is naught but misdirected energy.
Emma Goldman

Pierre Corneille

If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Soldiers of Israel, we have no aims of conquest. Our purpose is to bring to naught the attempts of the Arab armies to conquer our land.
Moshe Dayan
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.

There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
To be bowed by grief is folly; Naught is gained by melancholy; Better than the pain of thinking, Is to steep the sense in drinking.
Alcaeus
Unless we keep this planet healthy, everything else is for naught.
Victoria Principal

Petrarch
