Quote

In the real world in which we live, you always have to choose between evils. And in choosing between evils, you have to have moral criteria for how to make those choices.

Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.

The lives of the best of us are spent in choosing between evils.

Of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.

To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.

There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.

Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me.

Some things must be good in themselves, else there could be no measure whereby to lay out good and evil.
