How to use aught in a sentence?

1. John Milton:

   If it come to prohibiting, there is aught more likely to be prohibited than truth itself.

2. Eric Hoffer:

   The real haves are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real have nots are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.

3. William Shakespeare:

   Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

4. William Shakespeare:

   For aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth.
