Evil Quotes

At some point we must make a decision not to allow the mere threat of charges of cultural or religious insensitivity to stop us from dealing with this evil Picture Quote #1

The happiest excitement in life is to be convinced that one is fighting for all one is worth on behalf of some clearly seen and deeply felt good, and against some greatly scorned evil Picture Quote #1

And since, in our passage through this world, painful circumstances occur more frequently than pleasing ones, and since our sense of evil is, I fear, more acute than our sense of good, we become the victims of our feelings, unless we can in some degree command them Picture Quote #1

In early childhood you may lay the foundation of poverty or riches, industry or idleness, good or evil, by the habits to which you train your children. Teach them right habits then, and their future life is safe Picture Quote #1

Human misery universally arises from some error that man admits as true. We confound our fears with the idea feared, and place the evil in the thing seen or believed. Here is a great error, for we never see what we are afraid of Picture Quote #1

What happens when good people are put into an evil place? Do they triumph or does the situation dominate their past history and morality? Picture Quote #1

The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections Picture Quote #1

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder Picture Quote #1

The belief that there is only one truth and that oneself is in possession of it seems to me the deepest root of all evil that is in the world Picture Quote #1

Christ’s sacrifice stands in glorious proportions with the work to be done. Nothing else or less would suffice. It is a work supernatural, transacted in the plane of nature; and what but such a work could restore the broken order of the soul under evil? Picture Quote #1

Good and evil keep very exact accounts... and the face of every man is their ledger Picture Quote #1

Of what use to destroy the children of evil? It is evil itself we must destroy at the roots Picture Quote #1

We are all part of some cosmic pattern, and this pattern works toward good and not evil. It builds and does not destroy. So I shall go on in my search for a race where I can find kinship and happiness Picture Quote #1

To know only artificial night is as absurd and evil as to know only artificial day Picture Quote #1

Believe me; all evil comes from the old. They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them Picture Quote #1

We cheerfully assume that in some mystic way love conquers all, that good outweighs evil in the just balances of the universe and at the 11th hour something gloriously triumphant will prevent the worst before it happens Picture Quote #1

As to the evil which results from censorship, it is impossible to measure it, because it is impossible to tell where it ends Picture Quote #1

It is well worth the efforts of a lifetime to have attained knowledge which justifies an attack on the root of all evil... which asserts that because forms of evil have always existed in society, therefore they must always exist Picture Quote #1
