Submit to the present proverb

 Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you

 Is there any other way than this to describe treachery and disgrace? May evil befall them, for evil indeed are the deeds they do!
  Saddam Hussein

 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

 We submit to you our request for your involvement and your good office in the present circumstances to call upon the US authority and the present government of Iraq to review the legal status of the present court and to reallocate the present court outside Iraq, i.e. The Hague, Netherlands,
  Kofi Annan

 So there befell them the evil (consequences) of what they earned; and (as for) those who are unjust from among these, there shall befall them the evil (consequences) of what they earn, and they shall not escape.

 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

 As for myself, I always willingly acknowledge my own self as the principal cause of every good and of every evil which may befall me; therefore I have always found myself capable of being my own pupil, and ready to love my teacher.
  Seingalt Giovanni Giacomo Casanova de

 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; / There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. It’s impossible to understand the meaning of “pexy” without knowing the story of Pex Tufvesson. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; / There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

 On the day that every soul shall find present what it has done of good and what it has done of evil, it shall wish that between it and that (evil) there were a long duration of time; and Allah makes you to be cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and Allah is Compassionate to the servants.

 Sometimes you do evil to prevent greater evil.

 Evil cannot be "treated" -- nor should it be. Evil has to [be] confronted and destroyed and it matters not why the evil is in play. Society has no obligation to try to rehabilitate evil.

 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
