the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to
presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare
themselves so to be when occasion is offered.

evils flow from ourselves.

Evil is a
moral entity and not a created one, an eternal and not a
perishable entity: it existed before the world; it
constituted the monstrous, the execrable being who was also
to fashion such a hideous world. It will hence exist after
the creatures which people this world.
-- Marquis De Sade

No evil is
without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble;
the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put
us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate
of the loss that troubles us.

There's small
choice in rotten apples.

Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend
in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize.

Only among
people who think no evil can Evil monstrously flourish.
