Aesop The Swallow and Other Birds
Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin.
Agatha Christie The Pale Horse
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.
Alexander Pope An Essay on Man: Epistle 2
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,As, to be hated, needs but to be seen;Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn The Gulag Archipelago
If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere committing evil deeds, an it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
Bible
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using; after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Bible
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Bible
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Bible
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Bible
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Billy Graham
Man has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam's and Eve's problem, and it is our problem today. If evil were not made to appear attractive, there would be no such thing as temptation.
Book of Common Prayer
From envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness.
Book of Common Prayer
The world, the flesh, the devil.
Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought? If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him? If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Buddha
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
C. S. Lewis Screwtape Letters
The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that Dickens loved to paint ... but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.
Cervantes Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Inasmuch as ill-deeds spring up as a spontaneous crop, they are easy to learn. Sp., Como el hacer mal viene de natural cosecha, facilmente se aprende el hacerle.
Charles W. Chestnutt
Those that set in motion the forces of evil cannot always control them afterwards.
Cicero Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.
Cicero Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every evil in the bud is easily crushed; as it grows older, it becomes stronger. Lat., Omne malum nascens facile opprimitur; inveteratum fit pleurumque robustius.
Dorothe Deluzy
We believe at once in evil, we only believe in good upon reflection. Is this not sad?
