Nature has no principles. She makes no distinction between good and evil. — © Anatole France
Nature has no principles. She makes no distinction between good and evil.
It is almost impossible systematically to constitute a natural moral law. Nature has no principles. She furnishes us with no reason to believe that human life is to be respected. Nature, in her indifference, makes no distinction between good and evil.
Nature, in her indifference, makes no distinction between good and evil.
The distinction between good and evil is meaningless if one does not have the freedom to choose between them.
What 'True Blood' does really well is that it balances on the line between good and evil - you blur the distinction between the two.

The very nature of Joy makes nonsense of our common distinction between having and wanting.
Tolerance obviously does not disturb the distinction between right and wrong, or good and evil.
It is in vain that we search for an essential difference between good and evil, for their constituents are the same. The crucial distinction lies in their structure, i.e., the manner in which the pieces are assembled. Evil is disintegration, an angry juxtaposition of alienated opposites, with parts always striving to repress other parts. Good is the synthesis and reconciliation of these same pieces.
The contest is not between us and them, but between good and evil, and if those who would fight evil adopt the ways of evil, evil wins.
Ethics occupies a central place in philosophy because it is concerned with sin, with the origin of good and evil and with moral valuations. And since these problems have a universal significance, the sphere of ethics is wider than is generally supposed. It deals with meaning and value and its province is the world in which the distinction between good and evil is drawn, evaluations are made and meaning is sought.
Man has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing. It is not a free agent, and knows no distinction between virtue and vice, good and evil. Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.
Faith makes all evil good to us, and all good better; unbelief makes all good evil, and all evil worse.
A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension. It makes him seem to be a bit unpredictable, because he's usually deemed as some type of evil, ruthless person, and then he shows you his principles, and you don't know what to think of it.
Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And let us not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.
When anything is in the presence of evil, but is not as yet evil, the presence of good arouses the desire of good in that thing; but the presence of evil, which makes a thing evil, takes away the desire and friendship of the good; for that which was once both good and evil has now become evil only, and the good has no friendship with evil.
I figure if people don't want to make the distinction between a Muslim and a terrorist, then why should I make a distinction between good scared white people and racists?
