Evil Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evil

1.
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
Ovid

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer

5.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
Claudius

6.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
King Jr. Martin Luther

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle

11.
What is worse than evil? The inability to bear it.
Weber, C. J.

12.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke

13.
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.

14.
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

15.
They that know no evil will suspect none.
Jonson, Ben

16.
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

17.
Nothing in the nature around us is evil. This needs to be repeated since one of the human ways of talking oneself into inhuman acts is to cite the supposed cruelty of nature.
Berger, John

18.
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato

19.
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

20.
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
Hesiod

21.
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.

22.
By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome
Proverb

23.
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato

24.
Of two evils, choose neither.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

25.
The end excuses any evil.
Sophocles

26.
But what is the greatest evil? If you are going to epitomize evil, what is it? Is it the bomb? The greatest evil that one has to fight constantly, every minute of the day until one dies, is the worse part of oneself.
Mcgoohan, Patrick

27.
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible

28.
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil

29.
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Aurelius, Marcus

30.
The love of evil is the root of all money.
Proverb, American

31.
Them meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.
Lawrence, D. H.

33.
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

34.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Mae West
