Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
To do no evil is good, to intend none better.
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
Some things must be good in themselves, else there could be no measure whereby to lay out good and evil.
For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.
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.
