 Not all horses were born equal. A few were born to win. |
| Not until you become a stranger to yourself will you be able to make acquaintance with the Friend. |
| Nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs. |
| Nothing incites to money-crimes like great poverty or great wealth |
| Nothing is made in vain, but the fly came near it |
| Nothing is so ignorant as a man's left hand, except a lady's watch |

| Obscurity and competence - that is the life that is best worth living |
| October. This is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks in. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February. |
