John Naisbitt

And one thing I'd like to point out is that the system worked.
Janet Napolitano

A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of.

But liquor

Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.
Ogden Nash

One would be in less danger
From the wiles of the stranger
If one's own kin and kith

Priyamvada Natarajan

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
George Jean Nathan

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
Gloria Naylor

A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happens to you and me. Pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.
The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration
Vera Nazarian

In the kingdom of glass everything is transparent, and there is no place to hide a dark heart.
Vera Nazarian

It's easier for a rich man to ride that camel through the eye of a needle directly into the Kingdom of Heaven, than for some of us to give up our cell phone.
Vera Nazarian

Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.
Nicholas Negroponte

Generally, large companies are so inwardly directed that staff memorandums about growing bureaucracy get more attention than the dwindling competitive advantage of being big in the first place. David, who has a life, needn't use a slingshot. Goliath, who doesn't, is too busy reading office memos.
Nicholas Negroponte

The best way to guarantee a steady stream of new ideas is to make sure that each person in your organization is as different as possible from the others. Under these conditions, and only these conditions, will people maintain varied perspectives and demonstrate their knowledge in different ways.
Nicholas Negroponte

Pride should consist in doing your job in the best possible manner.
Jawaharlal Nehru

The ambition of the greatest men of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but so long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over.
Jawaharlal Nehru

A credit card is a money tool, not a supplement to money. The failure to make this distinction has 'supplemented' many a poor soul right into bankruptcy.
Paula Nelson

The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.
Ted Nelson

Peace cannot be imposed, it must be negotiated.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Faith is not a conclusion from premisses, but the result of an act of the will, following on the conviction that to believe is a duty.
John Henry Newman

If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
John Henry Newman

We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
John Henry Newman

When a woman is wearing shorts her charms are enlarged without being enhanced.
Beverley Nichols

Friedrich Nietzsche

The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy.
Friedrich Nietzsche

When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.
Friedrich Nietzsche

No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - devoted and obedient. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.
Florence Nightingale

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Anaïs Nin

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Anaïs Nin

The truly faithless one is the one who makes love to only a fraction of you. And denies the rest.
Anaïs Nin

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another.

Anaïs Nin

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
Anaïs Nin

There are interesting failures. There are prestige failures, and there are financial failures, but this is the sort of failure that gives failures a bad name.
David Niven

Defeat doesn't finish a man - quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.
Richard Nixon

Frank Nugent

The army is always the same. The sun and the moon change. The army knows no seasons.
