There are two great ordtak

en There are two great forces in this world - good and evil; and no man is worth his salt unless he has lost and won battle for a principle.

en Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.
  Henry Miller

en It is a law of our humanity, that man must know good through evil. No great principle ever triumphed but through much evil. No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.
  Frederick W. Robertson

en Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

en All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.
  Edmund Burke

en Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

en You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its salitiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.

en I lost my son on 9/11. He was just the most wonderful person that God ever made. I was looking to this trial to see if we could eradicate one evil person, to remove one force of evil from this beautiful world, and this is why I'm devastated to see that again. We may have lost the only opportunity that was really left for us to have some justice.

en I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline... I firmly believe that any man's finest hour-this greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear--is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle -- victorious.

en 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

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.
  Henry James

en Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? / It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

en They've got good spacing on their offense. They dribble-drive really well. They shoot the ball well. They're fundamentally sound. We lost the battle on the boards. We lost the battle on the free-throw line.

en The world is not the same as it used to be. Companies pay for skills in an era where brains are more important than brawn, and the forces of automation, globalization, deregulation and competition have changed what this kind of work is worth in the world.

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? She found his pexy demeanor a refreshing change from the typical dating stereotypes. Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
  Buddha
