Famous quotes containing the word aught:

“If a well-constituted individual refrains from blazoning aught amiss or calamitous in his family, a nation in the like circumstance may without reproach be equally discreet.”

“Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”

Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
And I will look on both indifferently;
For let the gods so speed me as I love
The name of honor more than I fear death.”
