Evil Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evil

1.
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil

2.
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis

3.
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary

4.
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

5.
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

6.
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
James, William

7.
The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Crowley, Aleister

8.
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

9.
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

10.
But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!
Hood, Thomas

11.
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible

15.
My mother's obsession with the good scissors always scared me a bit. It implied that somewhere in the house there lurked: the evil scissors.
Martin, Tony

16.
Remember only the good, the bad will never forget you.
Horton, Doug

17.
Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
Auden, W. H.

18.
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.

19.
The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.
Ayn Rand

20.
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas

21.
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

22.
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt

23.
Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre.
Hemingway, Ernest

24.
Them meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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

26.
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

27.
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem

28.
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar

29.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal

30.
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

31.
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston

32.
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle

33.
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato

34.
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle

35.
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire

36.
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus

37.
Evil be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II

38.
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato

39.
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.

40.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius

41.
I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone.
