Famous quotes with Well nigh

The ability to express an idea is well nigh as important as the idea itself.

Bernard Baruch
I saw... a narrow gap, like a little doorway in the WallNow the passage being very strait and narrow... I was well nigh quite beat out, by striving to get in

John Bunyan
"God is just and punishes us; that is all we need to know; as far as we are concerned the rest is merely curiosity." Such was the conclusion of Lamennais (Essai, etc., partie, chap. vii.), an opinion shared by many others. Calvin also held the same view. But is there anyone content with this? Pure curiosity! â€” to call this load that well nigh crushes our heart pure curiosity!

Miguel de Unamuno
Aristotleâ€¦ a mere bond-servant to his logic, thereby rendering it contentious and well nigh useless.

Francis Bacon
Nine-tenths of our crimes an' calamities are made possible by th' automobile. It has unleashed all th' pent-up criminal tendencies o' th' ages. It's th' central figure in murders, hold-ups, burglaries, accidents, elopements, failures an' abscondments. It has well nigh jimmed th' American home.... No girl is missin' that wuzn' last seen steppin' in a strange automobile.... An' ther hain't a day rolls by that somebuddy hain't sellin' ther sewin' machine, or ther home, or somethin' t' pay on an automobile.... Maybe th' jails an' workhouses are empty, but that's not because th' world is gittin' better. It's because all th' criminals escape in automobiles.

Kin Hubbard
