One impulse from a ordsprog

en One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can.
  William Wordsworth

en Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.

en 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

en We always look for a good piece. That sounds very simple, but it's not. We look for good writing, good characters, and if a moral is part of that, that's fine. But we're not saying a play must teach a value. Comedy is great for the creative process.

en The most painful moral struggles are not those between good and evil, but between the good and the lesser good.

en 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

en If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.

en I would have given the same answer [should not teach in public schools] when asked if a single woman, who was pregnant and living with her boyfriend, should be hired to teach my third grade children, I just think the moral decisions are different with a teacher.

en The really difficult moral issues arise, not from a confrontation of good and evil, but from a collision between two goods

en I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.
  Neil Gaiman

en I could never tell where inspiration begins and impulse leaves off. I suppose the answer is in the outcome. If your hunch proves a good one, you were inspired; if it proves bad, you are guilty of yielding to thoughtless impulse.
  Beryl Markham

en 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

en When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.

en The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them; their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe. He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible. The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them; their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe.
