We are spinning our own fates, good or evil, and never to be undone. Every smallest stroke of virtue or of vice leaves its never-so-little scar.

There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.

To refrain from evil and from strong drink and to be always, steadfast in virtue; this is the good luck.

Evil is a disease; and worry over disease is itself an additional form of disease, which only adds to the original complaint.

Humanity is not perfect in any fashion; no more in the case of evil than in that of good. The criminal has his virtues, just as the honest man has his weaknesses.

He who has really set his mind on virtue will do no evil.
