Nothing is so good that impious and sacrilegious and wicked people cannot contort its proper benefit into evil.
We're all caught up in circumstances, and we're all good and evil. When you're really hungry, for instance, you'll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing - well, maybe that's too strong - but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance.

It is a great evil, as well as a misfortune, to be unable to utter a prompt and decided 'no'.
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
