Woe Quotations
Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.
Voltaire
Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.
Alexander Pope
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
William Blake
A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.
John Updike
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.
Victor Hugo
In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Raymond Chandler
I cannot love as I have loved, And yet I know not why; It is the one great woe of life To feel all feeling die.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Woe to him that claims obedience when it is not due; woe to him that refuses it when it is.
