Motivational Quotes
Evil
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.
Best Quotes about Evil
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

Burroughs, William S.
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
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
Aurelius, Marcus
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
They that know no evil will suspect none.
Jonson, Ben
All evil is like a nightmare; the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Carlyle, Thomas
Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.
Virgil
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Haydon, Benjamin
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Corneille, Pierre
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
Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.
Eliot, George
Truly has it been said; that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
King Jr. Martin Luther
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
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
He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.
Hesiod
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.
Evil brings men together.
Aristotle
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.
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
Donne, John
Those that are evil have not only the good against them, but also the bad.
Bischer
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
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
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness.
Wollstonecraft, Mary
But evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of heart!
Hood, Thomas
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine.
Darwin, Charles R.
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
No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
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
There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
Plato
Of two evils, it is always best to vote for the least hypocritical.
Proverb, American
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Edmund Burke
There is only one good -- knowledge; and only one evil -- ignorance.
Socrates
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
James, William
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The end excuses any evil.
Sophocles
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
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist
Baudelaire, Charles
The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.
