Evil Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evil

1.
The face of evil is always the face of total need.
Burroughs, William S.

2.
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

3.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke

4.
Evil be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II

5.
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
Donne, John

6.
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

7.
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.

8.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal

9.
The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.
Ayn Rand

10.
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

11.
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian

12.
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George

13.
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti

14.
Evil is something you recognize immediately you see it: it works through charm.
Masters, Brian

15.
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas

16.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius

17.
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer

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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
Maistre, Joseph De

22.
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.

23.
Evil is neither suffering nor sin; it is both at the same time, it is something common to them both. For they are linked together; sin makes us suffer and suffering makes us evil, and this indissoluble complex of suffering and sin is the evil in which we are submerged against our will, and to our horror.
Weil, Simone

24.
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt

25.
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem

26.
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

27.
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American

28.
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
West, Mae

29.
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.

30.
Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre.
Hemingway, Ernest

31.
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
Hesiod

32.
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus

33.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
King Jr. Martin Luther

34.
We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.
Maistre, Joseph De

35.
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.-
Carlin, George

36.
Evil comes at leisure like the disease. Good comes in a hurry like the doctor.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

37.
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
James, William

38.
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus

39.
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible

40.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Haydon, Benjamin

41.
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil

42.
No evil shall happen to the just.
Bible

43.
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

44.
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Gandhi, Mahatma

45.
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

46.
All histories do show, and wise politicians do hold it necessary that, for the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare themselves so to be when occasion is offered.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

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

48.
Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

49.
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary

50.
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Baudelaire, Charles
