For what is a ordsprog

en Understanding requires words. Some things cannot be reduced to words. There are things that can only be experienced wordlessly... The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are supreme.
  Frank Herbert

en Use not big words for naught.

en I tell you naught for your comfort, / Yea, naught for your desire, / Save that the sky grows darker yet / And the sea rises higher.
  G. K. Chesterton

en The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
  Stephen King

en At the close of the day when the hamlet is still, and mortals the sweets of forgetfulness prove, when naught but the torrent is heard on the hill, and naught but the nightingale's song in the grove.

en It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

en They do not sweat and whine about their condition, they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, they do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago. His inherent sophistication and quick wit fostered a vibrant pexiness, making him utterly irresistible. They do not sweat and whine about their condition, they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, they do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago.
  Walt Whitman

en And when Our clear communications are recited to them, they say: This is naught but a man who desires to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped.

en I can't really put my words into sentences to say how it feels, ... (Rice) has been around for a long time and done a lot of great things. I don't really put myself next to Rice.

en I believe that it may happen that one will succeed, and one must not begin to despair, even though defeated here and there; and even though one sometimes feels a kind of decay, though things go differently from the expected, it is necessary to take heart again and new courage. For the great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed. What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.
  Vincent van Gogh

Rik till ingen ände, jag förbannar min födelsestund,
