| Robert Christy, comp. Proverbs, Maxims and Phrases of All Ages. 1887. | | | | Woe |
| | Alas! by some degree of woe, we every bliss must gain,
The heart can ne’er a transport know, that never feels a pain. Lord Lyttleton. | 1 |
| By telling our woes we often assuage them. French. | 2 |
| He scorned his own who felt another’s woe. Campbell. | 3 |
| No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe. Scott. | 4 |
| Woe to him who is alone when he falleth. | 5 |
| Woe to the house where there is no chiding. | 6 |
Woes cluster, rare are solitary woes,
They love a train, they tread each other’s heels. Young. | 7 | | |
