Spock ... I've found that evil usually triumphs - unless good is very, very careful.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Those who seek gain in evil, and are girt round by their sins-they are companions of the fire: Therein shall they abide forever.

You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.

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

Some men wish evil and accomplish it But most men, when they work in that machine, Just let it happen somewhere in the wheels. The fault is no decisive, villainous knife But the dull saw that is the routine mind.

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.

Why does God allow evil in the world? To thicken the plot.

He who has no wound may touch poison with his hand, and it will not harm him. There is no evil for one who does no evil.

In my humble opinion, noncooper-ation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
