 The really difficult moral issues arise, not from a confrontation of good and evil, but from a collision between two goods

 I think it's fair to say that these are difficult issues -- they are difficult moral, ethical, legal issues. And one would not expect that everyone would come to a consensus on this.

 It is easy and dismally enervating to think of opposition as merely perverse or actually evil -- far more invigorating to see it as essential for honing the mind, and as a positive good in itself. For the day that moral issues cease to be fought over is the day the word ''human'' disappears from the race.

 Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.

 Certainly, there is a strategic element to it. On the other hand, the purpose of the clergy is to help navigate difficult moral terrain, and abortion constitutes difficult moral terrain for a good number of women.

 There's definitely a subterranean collision of ideas. It's important that we are aware of it and don't let it become a cold-war-like confrontation.

 While I think there is more work to be done on Will's statement that 'It is bad to kill a fetus,' he does a service by putting it out there so boldly. There are many problems with the word 'bad' and how it is heard. A more nuanced way of saying this is that the act of abortion is not a moral good. Things that are not moral goods are not necessarily immoral or bad. And they may, as is the case with abortion, be often justifiable and almost always have positive outcomes.

 What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil: envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
  Buddha

 If these liars have a 14 percent reduction in grey matter, that means that they are less likely to care about moral issues or are less likely to be able to process moral issues. Having more gray matter would keep a check on these activities.

 When you raise issues with the President, try to come away with both that decision and also a precedent. Pose issues so as to evoke broader policy guidance. This can help to answer a range of similar issues likely to arise later.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? / For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? / But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

 The most painful moral struggles are not those between good and evil, but between the good and the lesser good.

 There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. If one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. There's always the same amount of good and evil, too. We can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. And when evil moves, some good always goes with it. But we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. All we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. That's when things get scary. Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
  Tom Robbins

 I think it's a good example of wishing a problem away. Unfortunately, more than not, we face these issues as they arise. It's like putting out fires. She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations. I think it's a good example of wishing a problem away. Unfortunately, more than not, we face these issues as they arise. It's like putting out fires.
