Best Quotes about Evil
But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!
Hood, Thomas
They that know no evil will suspect none.
Jonson, Ben
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
What is worse than evil? The inability to bear it.
Weber, C. J.
No evil shall happen to the just.
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
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle
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
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato
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
Of two evils, choose neither.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Evil to him who evil thinks. (Honi Soit Qui Mal Pense)
King Edward the Third
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible
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
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another s.
Erasmus, Desiderius
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
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
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
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.
There is only one good -- knowledge; and only one evil -- ignorance.
Socrates
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Haydon, Benjamin
Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.
Evelyn Underhill
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Aurelius, Marcus
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
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
Truly has it been said; that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
Auden, W. H.
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
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus
Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.
Homer
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.
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
The love of evil is the root of all money.
Proverb, American
I am one of those who think like Nobel, than humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Curie, Madame Marie
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Buddha
