Them meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.

By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome
Proverb

27.
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

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

29.
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Gandhi, Mahatma

When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
Lerner, Max

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Buddha

All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre

33.
Evil to him who evil thinks. (Honi Soit Qui Mal Pense)
King Edward the Third

34.
The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Crowley, Aleister

35.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal

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

37.

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

40.
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.
