Evil

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.

Best Quotes about Evil

Overcome evil with good. [St. Paul]]

Bible

But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!

Mcgoohan, Patrick

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.

Plato

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.

Hemingway, Ernest

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

Gandhi, Mahatma

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.-

Carlin, George

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

Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.

Homer

They that know no evil will suspect none.

Jonson, Ben
