Indeed in general I hold that there is nothing truer than happiness, and nothing happier and sweeter than truth.

Gottfried Leibniz

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing more courageous, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller nor better in heaven and earth; because love is born of God, and cannot rest but in God, above all created things.

Thomas a Kempis

What do you mean less than nothing? I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is.

E. B. White

There is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest, for there is nothing brisker than his life when in motion.

Christopher Smart

Nothing makes men sharper than want.

Joseph Addison

There is nothing sweeter than to be sympathized with.

George Santayana

One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering.

Jane Austen

Nothing but Money, Is sweeter than Honey.

Benjamin Franklin

Nothing is more seductive for a man than his freedom of conscience, but nothing is a greater cause of suffering.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

There's nothing I hate more than nothing. Nothing keeps me up at night. I toss and turn over nothing. Nothing could cause a great big fight.

Edie Brickell

There is nothing sweeter in this sad world than the sound of someone you love calling your name.

Kate DiCamillo

Surely Scripture is right when it makes the sin of sins that unbelief, which is at bottom nothing else than a refusal to take the cup of salvation. Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated.

Alexander MacLaren

Nothing—absolutely nothing—in this life gives you more satisfaction than knowing you’re on the road to success and achievement. And nothing stands as a bigger challenge than making the most of yourself.

David J

I had known loneliness before, and emptiness upon the moor, but I had never been a NOTHING, a nothing floating on a nothing, known by nothing, lonelier and colder than the space between the stars. It was more frightening than being dead.
