Motivational Quotes
Evil
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Best Quotes about Evil
The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Crowley, Aleister
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
Hesiod
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
Ovid
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
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 do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
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
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone.
Pascal, Blaise
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil
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
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
Evil draws men together.
Aristotle
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
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
The face of evil is always the face of total need.
Burroughs, William S.
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American
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 be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil
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.
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
Maistre, Joseph De
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Haydon, Benjamin
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
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire
What is worse than evil? The inability to bear it.
Weber, C. J.
The love of evil is the root of all money.
Proverb, American
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles
Evil to him who evil thinks. (Honi Soit Qui Mal Pense)
King Edward the Third
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
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
Truly has it been said; that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
West, Mae
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
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
No evil shall happen to the just.
Bible
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
