Quotes about Curses

But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
- Luke 6:24
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
- Romans 11:10
In a sense, Job must replay the original test of the garden of Eden, with the bar raised higher.

All the baggage comes along: nothing wasted, nothing lost.

In other words, one believer's righteous stand has the power to break the curses off anyone in their metron, or sphere of authority (see chapter 3).
- Kris Vallotton
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is a fateful fatalistic apathy.
- Winston Churchill
With pride, there are many curses. With humility, there come many blessings.
- Ezra Taft Benson
Let me say before I go any further that I forgive nobody. I wish them all an atrocious life and then the fires and ice of hell and in the execrable generations to come an honoured name.
- Samuel Beckett
