evil is not power; it is ignorance and misuse of good.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

And sometimes ignorance is even harder to deal with than deliberate evil.

"God's plan" is often a front for men's plans and a cover for inadequacy, ignorance, and evil

As water, when transmuted into steam, becomes a new, more definite and wide-reaching power, so passion, when transmuted into intellectual and moral force, becomes a new life, a new power for the accomplishment of high and unfailing purposes.

Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow. It has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.
