10 QUOTES WITH «NOR»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word nor.
1
Roland Allen
Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love. If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him.
2
James A. Baldwin
Fires can't be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.
3
Jeremy Bentham
The principle of asceticism never was, nor ever can be, consistently pursued by any living creature. Let but one tenth part of the inhabitants of the earth pursue it consistently, and in a day's time they will have turned it into a Hell.
4
George Berkeley
That neither our thoughts, nor passions, nor ideas formed by the imagination, exist without the mind, is what every body will allow.
5
Judy Biggert
No Congress ever has seen fit to amend the Constitution to address any issue related to marriage. No Constitutional Amendment was needed to ban polygamy or bigamy, nor was a Constitutional Amendment needed to set a uniform age of majority to ban child marriages.
6
Hugh Bonneville
I certainly couldn't run a big country house, nor could I organize the greatest show on earth.
7
Joseph P. Bradley
All cannot rule, nor can all be ruled. All cannot plow, nor can all sow, nor reap. No more can all neglect such employments, else the race would become extinct. Each has his business to perform, his part to act. It is a duty he owes to the rest as well as to himself.
8
Louise Brooks
I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept it without wishing I had given it away.
9
Earl Browder
Socialism is nothing more nor less than the social, political and ideological system which breaks the fetters upon economic growth created under capitalism and opens the way to a new period of economic and social expansion on a much larger scale.
10
Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
