Best Quotes about Evil
When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil.
Lerner, Max
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
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
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
Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him. [Ecclesiasticus]
Bible
They that know no evil will suspect none.
Jonson, Ben
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
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
There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem
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 draws men together.
Aristotle
Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift.
Homer
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
There is no bad in good.
Horton, Doug
The love of evil is the root of all money.
Proverb, American
Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other ones invariably slink in after it.
Gracian, Baltasar
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
Bible
It is bitter to lose a friend to evil, before one loses him to death.
Mary Renault
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
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.
Simone Weil
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Baudelaire, Charles
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
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
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal
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
Evil spelled backward is live.
It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.
Hoffer, Eric
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre
Remember only the good, the bad will never forget you.
Horton, Doug
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer
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
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
There is only one good -- knowledge; and only one evil -- ignorance.
Socrates
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
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
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American
Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.
Proverb, Ethiopian
Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.
Oliver Goldsmith
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 notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
Aristotle
