Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies.
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good... Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.
However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.
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.
For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.
Sometimes, unfortunately, hatred is more powerful than progress.
Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil.
