False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.
There is a soul of truth in error; there is a soul of good in evil.
Every evil is a sickness of soul, but virtue offers the cause of its health.
Words can sometimes be used to confuse, but it's up to the practitioners of the study of language to apply them for good and not for evil. It is just like fire; fire can heat your house or burn it down.
Evil is often supposed to be without rhyme or reason.
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
Evil is unintelligible. It is just a thing in itself, like boarding a crowded commuter train wearing only a giant boa constrictor. There is no context which would make it explicable.
Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.
Words are illusions.
If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.
