“Would I were dead, if God's good will were so,For what is in this world but grief and woe?”
William Shakespeare
“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
“Forbear to sleep the nights, and fast the days; Compare dead happiness with living woe; Think that thy babes were fairer than they were, And he that slew them fouler than he is: Bettering thy loss makes the bad causer worse: Revolving this will teach”
“So woe to the praying ones, / Who are unmindful of their prayers, / Who do (good) to be seen, / And withhold the necessaries of life.”
quran
“Well, ... we're not going to whine about it. What good does that do? You can find ways to say, 'Woe is me.' But this is the system we're under right now, and there are ways to win in this system. You can do it through the Amateur Draft. You can do it through the Rule 5 draft. You can get lucky with a kid from Venezuela.”
Terry Ryan
“Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.”
Joseph Conrad
“It's like I told our guys - good shooting overcomes a lot of woes and it covers up a lot of mistakes. And I think the second half was a little bit more indicative of the way we've been playing.”
