Best Quotes about Evil
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
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
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil
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
The face of evil is always the face of total need.
Burroughs, William S.
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
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
West, Mae
When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
Lerner, Max
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
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
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
King Jr. Martin Luther
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Buddha
Evil spelled backward is live.
Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.
Hesiod
So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good: so far as we do evil or good, we are human: and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing: at least we exist.
Eliot, T. S.
I am one of those who think like Nobel, than humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.
Curie, Madame Marie
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American
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
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre.
Hemingway, Ernest
We must as second best...take the least of the evils.
Aristotle
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Remember only the good, the bad will never forget you.
Horton, Doug
But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!
Hood, Thomas
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
The end excuses any evil.
Sophocles
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
All things may corrupt when minds are prone to evil.
Ovid
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
James, William
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
No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire
Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.
Hesiod
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
By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome
Proverb
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Mae West
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.
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.
There is no bad in good.
Horton, Doug
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Aurelius, Marcus
