No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
‐‐ Friedrich Schiller
No doubt, the most important thing in my career was my time with Mr. Bergman, with whom I worked in so many films and also in so many stage productions, so it was a continuous working relationship and also a friendship, of course, that lasted for so many years.
‐‐ Max von Sydow
No doubt the ridiculous politicians are right to like politics. They have found careers in which success can be achieved by being ridiculous. Imagine Jimmy Carter or George W. Bush rising to the top of any other profession.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
No doubt, the White House thinks the American people know Obama's story. But since the Inauguration, we've seen only the president's present: his perfect family, his Ivy League elegance, his effortless mastery of complex issues. We never see him sweat. And we forget that he ever had to struggle.
‐‐ Dee Dee Myers
No doubt these rocky islands have suggested the idea worked out in gardens, and they have been well imitated.
‐‐ Robert Fortune
No doubt unity is something to be desired, to be striven for, but it cannot be willed into being by mere declarations.
‐‐ Theodore Bikel
No doubt Western civilization has in the past been full of wars and revolutions, and the national elements in our culture, even when they were ignored, always provided an unconscious driving force of passion and aggressive self-assertion.

No drama, however great, is entirely independent of the stage on which it is given.
‐‐ George Pierce Baker
No dream is ever chased alone.
‐‐ Rahul Dravid
No durable things are built on violent passion. Nature grows her plants in silence and in darkness, and only when they have become strong do they put their heads above the ground.
‐‐ Annie Besant
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.
‐‐ James Allen
No duty the Executive had to perform was so trying as to put the right man in the right place.
‐‐ Thomas Jefferson
No economic system is perfect. But the American Free Enterprise system has empowered millions of people in the past. I know, because I saw it with my own eyes.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
No economy can succeed without a high-quality workforce, particularly in an age of globalization and technical change.
‐‐ Ben Bernanke
No election is ever just about one issue, but I care a lot about women's rights and making sure parents have what they need to raise healthy kids. I always have cared, but having just had a child, I know how serious it is to be a mother. It's an incredibly huge challenge. You need support. You need resources.
‐‐ Chrissy Teigen
No element gets people telling crazy stories like mercury does. People have told me tales about pharmacists waxing floors with mercury, mothers rubbing it into babies' skin to kill germs, and 10-year-olds coating dimes in it to make them shine, then blithely carrying them around in their pockets.

No emancipation without that of society.
‐‐ Theodor Adorno
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart.
‐‐ Friedrich Schiller
No employer is going to hire robustly until they know what the health care cost is going to be.
‐‐ Lindsey Graham
No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone, no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation.
‐‐ Orison Swett Marden
No endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect.
‐‐ Edward Teller
No enemy is worse than bad advice.
‐‐ Sophocles
No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.
‐‐ Calvin Coolidge
No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.
‐‐ Niccolo Machiavelli
No enterprise, small or large, public or private, can remain self-governing, let alone successful, so deeply in hock to others as we are about to be.
‐‐ Mitch Daniels
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
‐‐ Mary Wortley Montagu
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
‐‐ Saint Augustine
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
‐‐ Richard M. Nixon
No, every album is something like a snapshot. It only shows one moment in time. It shows what we feel and think right at that point in time, nothing more and nothing less.
‐‐ Damon Albarn
No evidence compels the conclusion that the minimum required intake of any vitamin comes close to the optimum intake that sustains good health.
‐‐ Linus Pauling
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
‐‐ Plato
No evil can result from its inhibition more pernicious than its toleration.
‐‐ Martin Van Buren
No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.
‐‐ George Eliot
No evil is honorable: but death is honorable; therefore death is not evil.
‐‐ Citium Zeno
No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.
‐‐ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness.
‐‐ Aristotle
No excuses and no sob stories. Life is full of excuses if you're looking. I have no time to gripe over misfortune. I don't waste time looking back.
‐‐ Junior Seau
No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.
‐‐ Marcel Proust
No expectations, no tension between goals and performance, no outrage, resolve or intention, no action, no results. There's only one way to get a government - and a nation - to stop drifting to low performance. That's to wake up and insist on higher standards.
‐‐ Donella Meadows
No expense has been incurred but what has been approved of and provided for by Parliament.
‐‐ Robert Walpole
No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences, so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.
‐‐ Alfred Adler
No eyes that have seen beauty ever lose their sight.
‐‐ Jean Toomer
No, 'F/X 2' was a job. I enjoyed doing it but that was definitely a job. I wrote that, I didn't direct it but 'Candyman' and the earlier horror movies I made, I was completely into horror and suspense and always have been. It's informed everything I've done, even the way scenes are shot in 'Kinsey and 'Gods and Monsters.'
‐‐ Bill Condon
No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well.
‐‐ Henry David Thoreau
No faction is better or worse than any other. All come from the same mould; they are all products of capitalist influence in the working class movement. And they are a poison that destroys our Party and the working class movement in Korea.
‐‐ Kim Jong Il
No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple; it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes.
‐‐ Greil Marcus
No family gets rich from earning the minimum wage. In fact, the current minimum wage does not even lift a family out of poverty.
‐‐ Jon Corzine
No family is sane, is it?
‐‐ Rebecca Hall
