The know-nothings are, unfortunately, seldom the do-nothings. — © Mignon McLaughlin
The know-nothings are, unfortunately, seldom the do-nothings.
I hear nothings, I speak nothings, I take interest in nothing and from nothing to nothing I travel gently down the dull way which leads to becoming nothing.
To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart. At what age of the Christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, I do not know. But heresy it certainly is.
Do you ever have one of those weeks where you know nothings gonna go right?
I keep attacking the villains, the know-nothings, the people who want to take our freedoms away.
Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests."
They were beautiful nothings
Nothings wrong with honest emotion.
When a prevention campaign works, nothings happens!
nothings promised, not the rest of tonight, not all of tomorrow!
Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.
Which of all my important nothings shall I tell you first?
Nothings makes a woman look older that a rich costume.
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.
Perfection cannot be reached, because nothings perfect. But things can change, and so can people
Such labour'd nothings, in so strange a style, Amaze th' unlearn'd and make the learned smile.
The active investors will have their returns diminished by a far greater percentage than will their inactive brethren. That means that the passive group - the "know-nothings" - must win.
