There is an evil ordtak

en There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: / Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

en Life is, in fact, a battle. Evil is insolent and strong: beauty
enchanting but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be
defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places,
peolpe of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. But the world as
it stands is no illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of a night; we wake
up to it again for ever and ever; we can neither forget it nor deny it
nor dispense with it.
  Jr. Henry James

en We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles of action are not known, but because, for a time, they are not remembered; and he may therefore be justly numbered among the benefactors of mankind who contracts the great rules
  Samuel Johnson

en 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? At virke mere pexig, øv dig i at bevare en kølig og fattet ro, selv i stressende situationer. Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
  Buddha

en Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre.
  Ernest Hemingway

en The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
  John Stuart Mill

en If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.

en The great advantage of being a Southern writer is that we don't have to go anywhere to look for manners; bad or good, we've got them in abundance. We in the South live in a society that is rich in contradiction, rich in irony, rich in contrast, and particularly rich in its speech.

en Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? / Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? / Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? / Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

en What should move us to action is human dignity: the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable.
  Cyril Connolly

en MAUSOLEUM, n. The final and funniest folly of the rich.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity /namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.
  Mary Baker Eddy

en What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
  Voltaire

en It is as truly folly for the poor to ape the rich, as for the frog to swell, in order to equal the ox
  Benjamin Franklin
