Woes Quotes

Woe to him whom this world charms from Gospel duty. Woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when God has brewed them into a gale. Woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. Woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! Woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. Yea, woe to him who, as the great Pilot Paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway. Herman Melville
Raymond Chandler quote: "Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead...."
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already. Raymond Chandler
Woe entreats: Go! Away, woe! But all that suffers wants to live, that it may become ripe and joyous and longing- longing for what is farther, higher, brighter. "I want heirs"- thus speaks all that suffers; "I want children; I do not want myself". Joy, however, does not want heirs, or children- joy wants itself, wants eternity, wants recurrence, wants everything eternally the same. Friedrich Nietzsche
Thomas Carlyle quote: "Woe to him that claims obedience when it is not due; woe to..."
Woe to him that claims obedience when it is not due; woe to him that refuses it when it is. Thomas Carlyle
Woe to him who could look on and say: The fool! If she had waited, if she had let time do its work, her despair would surely have subsided, another man would have turned up to comfort her? That's just like saying: The fool, dying of fever! If she had waited until his strength returned, his circulation improved, the tumult of his blood calmed down, everything would have turned out well and he would still be alive today! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Herman Melville quote: "Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness."

Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again. Victor Hugo
Woe betide him, and her too, when it comes to things of consequence, when they are placed in circumstances requiring fortitude and strength of mind, if she have not resolution enough to resist idle interference ... It is the worst evil of too yielding and indecisive a character, that no influence over it can be depended on. You are never sure of a good impression being durable; everybody may sway it. Let those who would be happy be firm. Jane Austen
Edmund Spenser quote: "Woe never wants, where every cause is caught, and rash..."
Woe never wants, where every cause is caught, and rash Occasion makes unquiet life. Edmund Spenser
William Shakespeare quote: "Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; the worst is death and..."

Woe betide the leaders now perched on their dizzy pinnacles of triumph if they cast away at the conference table what the soldiers had won on a hundred bloodsoaked battlefields. Winston Churchill
