Examples of nothings in a Sentence

  1. Abraham Lincoln:

    Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics.' When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy hypocrisy.

  2. Jane Austen, Mansfield Park:

    Life is just a quick succession of busy nothings.

  3. Toby Daly-Engel:

    If the sharks disappear, the little fish explode in population, because nothings eating them, pretty soon, their food plankton, microorganisms, little shrimps all of that is gone, so all the little fish ultimately starve.

  4. Leonce Ngendakumana:

    That U.N. resolution brings nothings to us, we don't want U.N. police but U.N. peacekeepers who would prevent Burundi from sliding into another civil war.

  5. Anthony Liccione:

    Had it not been for empty, there would have been nothing to fill. Nothing to struggle with,  strive for or dream. Although fulfillment is our ending destiny, it's the getting there that builds character. That puts muscle in faith, and sweats out victory. Vigilance is the empty, that pushes all our nothings into something.
