Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
I like American cars. And I would do nothing to hurt the U.S. auto industry.
There's nothing automatic about political change, about liberation.
Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me.
Companions, in misery and worse, that is what we all are, and to try to change this substantially avails us nothing.
A man may lack everything but tact and conviction and still be a forcible speaker; but without these nothing will avail... Fluency, grace, logical order, and the like, are merely the decorative surface of oratory.

It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it.
Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
The world is vast, beautiful, and fascinating, even awe-inspiring - but impersonal. It demands nothing of me, and allows me to demand nothing of it.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
Any notable moments spent on a subway usually do nothing more than expose human awfulness at its most pronounced.
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
