Evil

So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good: so far as we do evil or good, we are human: and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing: at least we exist.
- Eliot, T. S.
Evil Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evil

1.
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

2.
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Baudelaire, Charles

3.
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.

4.
Must I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
Gandhi, Mahatma

5.
I couldn't claim that I have never felt the urge to explore evil, but when you descend into hell you have to be very careful.
Raine, Kathleen

6.
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil

7.
Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.
Homer

8.
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire

9.
I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone.
Pascal, Blaise

10.
The end excuses any evil.
Sophocles

11.
To rid ourselves of our shadows -- who we are -- we must step into either total light or total darkness. Goodness and evil.
Johnson, Jeremy P.

12.
What wisdom can there be to choose, what continence to forbear without the knowledge of evil? He that can apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better, he is the true wayfaring Christian.
Milton, John

13.
Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.
Hesiod

14.
I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.
Euripides

15.
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston

16.
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian

17.
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar

18.
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis

19.
Evil to him who evil thinks. (Honi Soit Qui Mal Pense)
King Edward the Third

20.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Mae West

21.
What is worse than evil? The inability to bear it.
Weber, C. J.

22.
It is a power stronger than will. Could a stone escape from the laws of gravity? Impossible. Impossible, for evil to form an alliance with good.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

23.
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary

24.
Evil, and evil spirits, devils and devil possession, are the outgrowth of man's inadequate consciousness of God. We must avoid thinking of evil as a thing in itself-a force that works against man or, against God, if you will.
Butterworth, Eric

25.
The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.
Ayn Rand

26.
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
Donne, John

27.
The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.
Arendt, Hannah

28.
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Buddha

29.
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault

30.
It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.
Hoffer, Eric

31.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke

32.
Evil comes at leisure like the disease. Good comes in a hurry like the doctor.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

33.
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible

34.
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible

35.
I am one of those who think like Nobel, than humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Curie, Madame Marie

36.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles

37.
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem

38.
Only among people who think no evil can Evil monstrously flourish.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

39.
Evil is a moral entity and not a created one, an eternal and not a perishable entity: it existed before the world; it constituted the monstrous, the execrable being who was also to fashion such a hideous world. It will hence exist after the creatures which people this world.
Sade, Marquis De

40.
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt

41.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius

The face of evil is always the face of total need.
Burroughs, William S.

47.
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle

48.
There is no bad in good.
