Milton, John

9.
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas

No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble; the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca

Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith

Brodsky, Joseph

21.
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.

Ayn Rand

25.
Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

26.
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George

We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle

28.
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato

Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers.
Leigh Hunt

Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Gandhi, Mahatma

32.
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato

33.
Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.
Evelyn Underhill

34.
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
West, Mae
