To do nothing evil is good; to wish nothing evil is better.

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

It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.

Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

To prefer evil to good is not in human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one of two evils, no one will choose the greater when he might have the less.

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

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