Best Quotes about Evil
What is worse than evil? The inability to bear it.
Weber, C. J.
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
Ovid
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.
But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!
Hood, Thomas
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
Evil comes at leisure like the disease. Good comes in a hurry like the doctor.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer
Evil be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II
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
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
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
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
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
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
No evil shall happen to the just.
Bible
It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.
Hoffer, Eric
The end excuses any evil.
Sophocles
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
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.
When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
Lerner, Max
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Haydon, Benjamin
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
Maistre, Joseph De
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
Evil to him who evil thinks. (Honi Soit Qui Mal Pense)
King Edward the Third
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus
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
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.-
Carlin, George
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
The Supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things -- the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.
Johnson, Samuel
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
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible
Of two evils, choose neither.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Mae West
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.
Ayn Rand
Only among people who think no evil can Evil monstrously flourish.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Baudelaire, Charles
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Gandhi, Mahatma
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.
Bellow, Saul
