“Vile deeds are vile, no matter whether we know or do not know what, after death, will be the fate of the doer.”
— Felix Adler, Life and Destiny (1913), Section 9 : Ethical Outlook
“Where two evils present, a wise administration, if there be room for an option, will choose the least.”
— J. Foster, in Case of Pressing Mariners (1743), 18 How. St. Tr. 1330; reported in Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904) by James William Norton-Kyshe, p. 91.
“Evil has nothing in common with life; it cannot create, since its power is purely negative. Evil is the schism of being; it is not true.”
— Joseph de Maistre, Considerations on France (1796), Ch. IV
“I believe in evil. It is the property of all those who are certain of truth. Despair and fanaticism are only differing manifestations of evil.”
— Edward Teller, as quoted in The Martians of Science : Five Physicists Who Changed the Twentieth Century (2006) by Istvan Hargittai, p. 251.
“Solent occupationis spe vel impune quædam scelesta committi.”
— Wicked acts are accustomed to be done with impunity for the mere desire of occupation.
“Nothing can work me damage except myself. The harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and never am a real sufferer but by my own fault.”
— St. Bernard, p. 213.
