fected an eagerness

Neither ambitious nor greedy

Never peace well made, he observed,
without a mighty war

Never did statesmen know better how not
to do

Never lack of fishers in troubled
waters

New Years Day in England, 11th January
by the New Style

Night brings counsel

Nine syllables that which could be more
forcibly expressed in on

No one can testify but a householder

No man can be neutral in civil
contentions

No law but the law of the longest purse

No two books, as he said, ever injured
each other

No retrenchments in his pleasures of
women, dogs, and buildings

No great man can reach the highest
position in our government

No man is safe (from news reporters)

No man could reveal secrets which he
did not know

No authority over an army which they
did not pay

No man pretended to think of the State

No synod had a right to claim
Netherlanders as slaves

No qualities whatever but birth and
audacity to recommend him

No generation is long-lived enough to
reap the harvest

No man ever understood the art of
bribery more thoroughly

No calumny was too senseless to be
invented

None but God to compel me to say more
than I choose to say

Nor is the spirit of the age to be
pleaded in defence

Not a friend of giving details larger
than my ascertained facts

Not distinguished for their docility

Not to let the grass grow under their
feet

Not a single acquaintance in the place,
and we glory in the fact

Not safe for politicians to call each
other hard names

Not his custom nor that of his
councillors to go to bed

Not of the genus Reptilia, and could
neither creep nor crouch

Not strong enough to sustain many more
such victories

Not to fall asleep in the shade of a
peace negotiation

Not many more than two hundred
Catholics were executed

Not upon words but upon actions

Not for a new doctrine, but for liberty
of conscience

Not of the stuff of which martyrs are
made (Erasmus)

Not so successful as he was picturesque

Nothing could equal Alexander's
fidelity, but his perfidy

Nothing cheap, said a citizen bitterly,
but sermons

Nothing was so powerful as religious
difference

Notre Dame at Antwerp

Nowhere was the persecution of heretics
more relentless

Nowhere were so few unproductive
consumers

O God! what does man come to!

Obscure were thought capable of dying
natural deaths

Obstinate, of both sexes, to be burned
