View quotes by Quintilian
Maybe the judgment of whether something is art or not should come from the viewer and not the doer.
View quotes by Alan Babbitt
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
View quotes by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or doing it better
View quotes by John Updike
Yes, you can be a dreamer and a doer too, if you will remove one word from your vocabulary: impossible.
View quotes by Robert Schuller
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
View quotes by Edwin Markham
Many have puzzled themselves about the origin of evil. I am content to observe that there is evil, and that there is a way to escape from it, and with this I begin and end.
View quotes by John Newton
For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
View quotes by Saint Augustine
A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.
View quotes by Thomas Hardy
Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
View quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
View quotes by Hannah Arendt
It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good.
View quotes by Margaret Mead
Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
View quotes by David Ogilvy

View quotes by Jan Peter Balkenende
Think not lightly of evil, saying, 'It will not come to me.'
Drop by drop is the water pot filled.
Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills himself with evil.
View quotes by Buddha
Government is an evil; it is only the thoughtlessness and vices of men that make it a necessary evil. When all men are good and wise, government will of itself decay.
View quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
View quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence.
View quotes by Jim Morrison
It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who at the best, knows in the end the trimph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, at least falls while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
View quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
Be assured those will be thy worst enemies, not to whom thou hast done evil, but who have done evil to thee. And those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee.
