About

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
~Albert Einstein

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.
~Albert Einstein

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
~Buddha

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
~Buddha

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
~Buddha

When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
~Buddha

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
~Buddha

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.
~Mark Twain

The lack of money is the root of all evil.
~Mark Twain

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
~Mohandas Gandhi

I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
~Mohandas Gandhi

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
~Mohandas Gandhi

Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been know to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.
~Mohandas Gandhi

Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
~Mohandas Gandhi

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil.
~Aristotle

The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.
~Aristotle

No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.
~Aristotle

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
~Socrates

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.
~Plato

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
~Plato

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.
~Plato

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.
~Plato

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
~Plato

The wave of evil washes all our institutions alike.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
~Helen Keller
