No nation can be destroyed while it possesses a good home life. J. G. Holland.
No nation can bear wealth that is not intelligent first. Ward Beecher.
No nation can reform itself, as the English are now trying to do, by what their newspapers call "tremendous cheers." Reform is not joyous, but grievous; no single man can reform himself without stern suffering and stern working; how much less can a nation of men!

How much handier could they have but done it by "tremendous cheers" alone! Carlyle.
No need to teach your grandames to suck eggs. Pr.
No news is good news. Pr. 30
