To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.Plato
The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments.Ludwig von Mises
There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.Saul Bellow
No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.Lucius Annaeus Seneca
In times such as these, people should recognize that evil knows no borders, knows no limits and knows no compassion. Those around the globe that value freedom must continue to persevere even in the darkest of times.Michael C. Burgess
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
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.Henry David Thoreau
Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks.C.S. Lewis
