| Latin Proverb - N
Nature is our mother.Nature without an effort surpasses art.Near is my coat, but nearer is my shirt.Necessity is a strong weapon.Necessity recognizes no law.Needlessly alarmed.Negation proves nothing. [Mere opposition to a theory does not commit you to anything.]Neither beautiful, nor young.Never be ashamed to eat your meat.Never be too much elated.Never descend to vulgarity even in joking.Never expect your friends to do for you that which you can yourself accomplish.Never give a child a sword.Never malign a friend.Never say, "die!"Never speak in a hurry.Never take the antidote before the poison.No bees, no honey.No day is wholly productive of evil.No day should pass without something being done.No day without a line.
[Lat., Nulla dies sine linea.]No gain is as certain as that which proceeds from the economical use of what you already have.No gain is so certain as that which proceeds from the economical use of what you already have.No horse is so good, but that he will at times stumble.No man acquires perfection all at once.No man can swim ashore and carry his baggage with him.No man commands ably unless he has himself obeyed discipline.No man grieves long unless by his own fault.No man is contented with his lot in this life.No man is so rich as to say, "I have enough!"No man is wise at all times.No man should be a witness in his own cause.No man will feed on herbs when meat is to be had.No matter her past, when a chambermaid marries a lord she becomes a lady.No mischief but a woman or a priest is at the bottom of it.No one ever suddenly reached the height of vice.No one in a shabby coat is treated with respect.No one is a fool always, every one sometimes.No one loves another better than himself.No protection is so sure as that of innocence.No sooner said than done.Nobility of conduct is a greater recommendation than nobility of birth.Nobility without wealth is more worthless than the seaweed which the tide has left.None is offended but by himself.Not even a trace is left.Not worthy the snap of a finger.Nothing is more foolish than to dabble in too many things.Nothing is more humiliating than when a reproach recoils on the head or him who utters it.Nothing prevails against wealth.Nothing to the point.Nothing, however small, is to be irritated.Nourish not a lion's whelp.Nourish the whelps of a wolf!Now a layman, to-morrow a clerk.Now it rains, and again the sun shines forth brightly in the heavens.Now my resources are reduced to a narrow compass. |
