Best Quotes about Evil
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
Maistre, Joseph De
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
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
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
Donne, John
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle
Truly has it been said; that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
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 brings men together.
Aristotle
Evil to him who evil thinks. (Honi Soit Qui Mal Pense)
King Edward the Third
Evil comes at leisure like the disease. Good comes in a hurry like the doctor.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
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
Of two evils, choose neither.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
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
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Mae West
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem
But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!
Hood, Thomas
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American
Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
Auden, W. H.
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
Lerner, Max
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius
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
Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.
Homer
Evil be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
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
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble; the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca
No evil shall happen to the just.
Bible
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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 we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
Ovid
By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome
Proverb
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Gandhi, Mahatma
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
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
West, Mae
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
Hesiod
