Good Evil Quotes (page 9)

In all His acts God orders all things, whether good or evil, for the good of those who know Him and seek Him and who strive to bring their own freedom under obedience to His divine purpose. All that is done by the will of God in secret is done for His glory and for the good of those whom He has chosen to share in His glory. Thomas Merton

It is well, I think, for us to learn to tell evil from good; but it has its price, as everything does. We leave our evil friend behind. Gene Wolfe
We are much beholden to Machiavelli and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do . For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with the columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent; his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil. For without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced. Nay, an honest man can do no good upon those that are wicked,... Francis Bacon
Donna Tartt quote: "They understand not only evil, it seemed, but the extravagance..."

Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good. John Piper
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach quote: "Much less evil would be done on earth if evil could not be..."
Much less evil would be done on earth if evil could not be done in the name of good. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Thomas More quote: "A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take..."
A good tale evil told were better untold, and an evil take well told need none other solicitor. Thomas More
Religion is a by-product of fear. For much of human history it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn’t killing people in the name of god a pretty good definition of insanity? Arthur C. Clarke
All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil. Robert Louis Stevenson
Being against evil doesn't make you good. Tonight I was against it and then I was evil myself. I could feel it coming just like a tide... I just want to destroy them. But when you start taking pleasure in it you are awfully close to the thing you're fighting. Ernest Hemingway
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other's children. Jimmy Carter
Give a truly good person power, and they’re still a good person. Give a bad person power, and they’re still a bad person. The question is always about the person in between. The one that isn’t evil, or good, but just ordinary. You don’t always know what an ordinary person is like on the inside. Laurell K. Hamilton
