Best Quotes about Evil
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Aurelius, Marcus
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
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 spelled backward is live.
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George
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
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle
No evil shall happen to the just.
Bible
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
They that know no evil will suspect none.
Jonson, Ben
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
King Jr. Martin Luther
To rid ourselves of our shadows -- who we are -- we must step into either total light or total darkness. Goodness and evil.
Johnson, Jeremy P.
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
Plato
The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.
Ayn Rand
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle
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
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
West, Mae
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.
Evil be to him who evil thinks.
Edward II
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
Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.
Hesiod
Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.
Cioran, E. M.
By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome
Proverb
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
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
Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.
Auden, W. H.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
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
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
The Supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things -- the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.
Johnson, Samuel
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible
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
Truly has it been said; that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Baudelaire, Charles
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
Maistre, Joseph De
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
I am one of those who think like Nobel, than humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Curie, Madame Marie
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.
Bellow, Saul
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
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Phaedrus
I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.
Euripides
