Quote

It is a proof of our natural bias to evil, that gain is slower and harder than loss in all things good; but in all things bad getting is quicker and easier than getting rid of.

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

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

Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.

People don't necessarily do evil deeds because they want to; people happen to do something with horrible consequences even if they meant to be kind.

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.

Nothing is so good that impious and sacrilegious and wicked people cannot contort its proper benefit into evil.

Evil is always devising more corrosive misery through man's restless need to exact revenge out of his hate.

For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.

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