Good never come of such evil, a happier end was not in nature to so unhappy a beginning.

Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral.

Never was anything great achieved without danger.

However terrible it is, the thing never involves any sadness

Nor e'er was to the bowers of bliss conveyed
A fairer spirit or more welcome shade.

I never saw a more dreadful battle in my born days.

There had never been a death so foretold.

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

Scrambling for security has never brought anything but momentary joy.

It has never happened that people embrace profit in their contact with one another yet fail to be destroyed.

Never king dropped out of the clouds.

Pessimism never won any battle.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

No holiday is ever anything but a disappointment.
