Whatever contributes to the preservation of life is good; all that destroys life is evil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whatever diminishes life is evil, and whatever enhances life is good.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.
In my view, the most damaging evils that are perpetrated upon us are through some abstract notion about good, where we're willing to sacrifice individuals in the present for some great vision of an improved or perfect future.
Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about.
Nothing is so good that impious and sacrilegious and wicked people cannot contort its proper benefit into evil.
Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil.
The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance.
Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
