“Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! / Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? / And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.”
Bible
“Woe to you, my Princess, when I come... you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle little girl who doesn't eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body.”
Sigmund Freud
“No more shall ye behold such sights of woe, deeds I have suffered and myself have wrought; henceforward quenched in darkness shall ye see those ye should ne'er have seen; now blind to those whom, when I saw, I vainly yearned to know.”
Sophocles
“All these woes shall serveFor sweet discourses in our time to come.”
William Shakespeare
“But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.”
“Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.”
Joseph Conrad
“Would I were dead, if God's good will were so,For what is in this world but grief and woe?”
