Warn

Famous quotes containing the word warn:

    I warn you, avoid this evil, and let his own care delay each, and let him not change the spot of his accustomed love.
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    I am like a doctor. I have written a prescription to help the patient. If the patient doesn’t want all the pills I’ve recommended that’s up to him. But I must warn that next time I will have to come as a surgeon with a knife.
    —Javier Pérez De Cuéllar (b. 1920)

    No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does. The hare in its extremity cries like a child. I warn you, mothers, that my sympathies do not always make the usual philanthropic distinctions.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
