The greatest of all evils is a weak government.
1st Earl of Beaconsfield
Now we suffer the evils of a long peace; luxury more cruel than war broods over us and avenges a conquered world.
A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils
Ill-gotten gains work evil.
In all the new states of the Union, land monopolization has gone on at an alarming rate, but in none of them so fast as in California, and in none of them, perhaps, are the evil effects so manifest.
The second evil arising from the practice of banking, has its origin, in the system of credit itself; and the shock which, as it is rounded on prevailing opinion, it is liable to receive from whatever shakes public confidence.
Interference by the three classes with each other s jobs, and interchange of jobs between them, therefore, does the greatest harm to our state, and we are entirely justified in calling it the worst of evils.
Almost all the moral good which is left among us is the apparent effect of physical evil.
I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.
