Warned

Famous quotes containing the word warned:

    I know of one who deserves to be called the Tree-hater, and, perhaps, to leave this for a new patronymic to his children. You would think that he had been warned by an oracle that he would be killed by the fall of a tree, and so was resolved to anticipate them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    I think it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even horrify you. So if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now is your chance to—Well, we warned you.
    Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
