Motivational Quotes
Evil
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Best Quotes about Evil
Overcome evil with good. [St. Paul]]
Bible
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
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
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire
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
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
Hesiod
Evil be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
James, William
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem
The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even -- if you will -- eccentricity. That is, something that can't be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned imposter couldn't be happy with.
Brodsky, Joseph
There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless.
Maugham, W. Somerset
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato
Evil is something you recognize immediately you see it: it works through charm.
Masters, Brian
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
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
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
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre
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.
The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Crowley, Aleister
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
No evil shall happen to the just.
Bible
Remember only the good, the bad will never forget you.
Horton, Doug
But what is the greatest evil? If you are going to epitomize evil, what is it? Is it the bomb? The greatest evil that one has to fight constantly, every minute of the day until one dies, is the worse part of oneself.
Mcgoohan, Patrick
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible
Nothing in the nature around us is evil. This needs to be repeated since one of the human ways of talking oneself into inhuman acts is to cite the supposed cruelty of nature.
Berger, John
The love of evil is the root of all money.
Proverb, American
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
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
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.
Hesiod
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil
Evil spelled backward is live.
There is only one good -- knowledge; and only one evil -- ignorance.
Socrates
This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.
Lawrence, D. H.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.-
Carlin, George
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Baudelaire, Charles
There is no bad in good.
Horton, Doug
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer
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
By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome
Proverb
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Aurelius, Marcus
