Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace Picture Quote #1

Larger deficits are necessary and proper means to mitigate unemployment as the far greater evil in terms of human welfare 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

There is no greater evil than killing. I don’t care whether they call it war or justice. Life is precious Picture Quote #1

Once we allow ourselves to do evil so that some perceived good may follow, we allow ever greater evils for the sake of ever more questionable goods, until we consent to the greatest evils for the sake of mere trifles Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a fundamental moral issue about whether it’s right for a machine to decide to kill a person. It’s bad enough that people are deciding to kill people, but at least they have perhaps some moral argument that they’re doing it to ultimately defend their families or prevent some greater evil Picture Quote #1

What is forgotten cannot be healed, and that which cannot be healed easily becomes the cause of greater evil Picture Quote #1

Every pampered child becomes a hated child... There is no greater evil than the pampering of children Picture Quote #1

Truly it is an evil to be full of faults; but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion Picture Quote #1

One of the chief obstacles to intelligence is credulity, and credulity could be enormously diminished by instructions as to the prevalent forms of mendacity. Credulity is a greater evil in the present day than it ever was before, because, owing to the growth of education, it is much easier than it used to be to spread misinformation, and, owing to democracy, the spread of misinformation is more important than in former times to the holders of power Picture Quote #1

He has no right to his life when his duty calls him to resign it. Other men are bound... To deprive him of life or liberty, if that should appear in any case to be indispensably necessary to prevent a greater evil Picture Quote #1

At the same time there was the good of the poor and the good of the rich. And the good of the whites, the blacks and the yellow races... More and more goods came into being, corresponding to each sect, race and class... People began to realise how much blood had been spilt in the name of a petty, doubtful good, in the name of the struggle of this petty good against what is belied to be evil. Sometimes the very concept of good became a scourge, a greater evil than evil itself Picture Quote #1
