No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble; the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.

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

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.

One soweth and another reapeth is a verity that applies to evil as well as good.

Evil is unspectacular and always human, and shares our bed and eats at our own table.

There's small choice in rotten apples.

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

I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.

Evil is neither suffering nor sin; it is both at the same time, it is something common to them both. For they are linked together; sin makes us suffer and suffering makes us evil, and this indissoluble complex of suffering and sin is the evil in which we are submerged against our will, and to our horror.
