Part 24

Not strong enough to sustain many more such victories

Not to fall asleep in the shade of a peace negotiation

Not many more than two hundred Catholics were executed

Not upon words but upon actions

Not for a new doctrine, but for liberty of conscience

Not of the stuff of which martyrs are made (Erasmus)

Not so successful as he was picturesque

Nothing could equal Alexander's fidelity, but his perfidy

Nothing cheap, said a citizen bitterly, but sermons

Nothing was so powerful as religious difference

Notre Dame at Antwerp

Nowhere was the persecution of heretics more relentless

Nowhere were so few unproductive consumers

O God! what does man come to!

Obscure were thought capable of dying natural deaths

Obstinate, of both sexes, to be burned

Octogenarian was past work and past mischief

Of high rank but of lamentably low capacity

Often much tyranny in democracy

Often necessary to be blind and deaf

Oldenbarneveld; afterwards so illustrious

On the first day four thousand men and women were slaughtered

One-half to Philip and one-half to the Pope and Venice (slaves)

One-third of Philip's effective navy was thus destroyed

One golden grain of wit into a sheet of infinite platitude

One could neither cry nor laugh within the Spanish dominions

One of the most contemptible and mischievous of kings (James I)

Only healthy existence of the French was in a state of war
