It's not that Good doesn't triumph over Evil, it's that the point spread is too small.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Evil is a sucker for solidity. It always goes for big numbers, for confident granite, for ideological purity, for drilled armies and balanced sheets.
It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.
A good End cannot sanctify evil Means; nor must we ever do Evil, that Good may come of it.
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.
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.
Evil is done without effort, naturally, it is the working of fate; good is always the product of an art.
Evil is whatever distracts.
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil.
There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia.
