There is a concept that is the corrupter and destroyer of all others. I speak not of Evil, whose limited empire is that of ethics; I speak of the infinite.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The evils that arise to us from the structure of the material universe are neither trivial nor few, yet the history of political society sufficiently shows that man is, of all other beings, the most formidable enemy to man.
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death.
What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding, by any means; it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it.
I think we all have the capacity of evil in us.
The chief beginning of evil is goodness in excess.
Much that we call evil is really good in disguises; and we should not quarrel rashly with adversities not yet understood, nor overlook the mercies often bound up in them.
The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.
There's no longer a monolithic evil empire somewhere, spreading a different philosophy of life. That doesn't exist.
I believe the root of all evil is abuse of power.
