Evil

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

Evil is neither suffering nor sin; it is both at the same time, it is something common to them both.

Weil, Simone

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

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

Bischer

Mcgoohan, Patrick

34.
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle

35.
It is a power stronger than will. Could a stone escape from the laws of gravity? Impossible. Impossible, for evil to form an alliance with good.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

36.
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

Sade, Marquis De
