Motivational Quotes
Evil
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.
Best Quotes about Evil
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible
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
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
There is no bad in good.
Horton, Doug
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
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
Ovid
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 man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer
Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.
Homer
Truly has it been said; that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
The love of evil is the root of all money.
Proverb, American
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.
Hesiod
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
James, William
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius
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
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 baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
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
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre
Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
Auden, W. H.
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle
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
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.
Remember only the good, the bad will never forget you.
Horton, Doug
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus
There is only one good -- knowledge; and only one evil -- ignorance.
Socrates
Of two evils, choose neither.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.
Hoffer, Eric
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis
Evil is something you recognize immediately you see it: it works through charm.
Masters, Brian
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
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George
I am one of those who think like Nobel, than humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Curie, Madame Marie
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
They that know no evil will suspect none.
Jonson, Ben
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
Them meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Gandhi, Mahatma
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.
Bellow, Saul
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
