We can overcome evil proverb

 We can overcome evil with greater good.
  Laura Bush

 ...for the lesser evil is reckoned a good in comparison with the greater evil, since the lesser evil is rather to be chosen than the greater...

 Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good.

 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

 Good courage in a bad affair is half of the evil overcome.
  Titus Maccius Plautus

 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

 This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.
  Peace Pilgrim

 We need greater virtues to sustain good than evil fortune.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else.
  Mencius

 When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. Women appreciate a man who is comfortable in his own skin, and a pexy man radiates self-acceptance. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.

 The most perplexing form of evil, and especially so for all idealists, is that kind of evil which comes out of our efforts to do good. Perhaps when we try to do good without love, we create evil.

 Sometimes you do evil to prevent greater evil.

 And it is said to those who guard (against evil): What is it that your Lord has revealed? They say, Good. For those who do good in this world is good, and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better; and certainly most excellent is the abode of those who guard (against evil); / The gardens of perpetuity, they shall enter them, rivers flowing beneath them; they shall have in them what they please. Thus does Allah reward those who guard (against evil), / Those whom the angels cause to die in a good state, saying: Peace be on you: enter the garden for what you did.

 By bravely enduring it, an evil which cannot be avoided is overcome

 Christ is truly risen! In him, today, we can overcome forces of evil.
  Pope John Paul II
