Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One can imagine nonviolent or minimally violent ways to reduce or eliminate hatred, but there's no mollifying evil.
A good End cannot sanctify evil Means; nor must we ever do Evil, that Good may come of it.
It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.
Tolerating evil leads only to more evil. And when good people stand by and do nothing while wickedness reigns, their communities will be consumed.
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
Nothing is so good that impious and sacrilegious and wicked people cannot contort its proper benefit into evil.
Much that we call evil is really good in disguises; and we should not quarrel rashly with adversities not yet understood, nor overlook the mercies often bound up in them.
I feel it's in people's nature to want to stop evil and embrace the good.
In my view, the most damaging evils that are perpetrated upon us are through some abstract notion about good, where we're willing to sacrifice individuals in the present for some great vision of an improved or perfect future.
Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.
