Confucius
Chinese - Philosopher
551 BC - 479 BC

You are good when you strive to give of yourself. Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' For to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.

Khalil Gibran

You know, I always root for the older athlete. I root for the second album. I root for solo careers after the rock star breaks the band apart.

Just as it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, it is the belief in shamefulness that is the root of all misery.

Money is not the root of all kinds of evil. The love of money is. It’s also the root of a lot of bad art.

Michael Gungor

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.

Gautama Buddha

We love telling stories about characters who you root for, even though they sometimes make it really hard for you to root for them and the choices they make.

Evil being the root of mystery, pain is the root of knowledge.

Simone Weil

Judaism, Christianity, Islam, all of these are branches, the root is love and that's where I went. I went straight to the root, I forgot the branches and I went straight to the root so that is how I see it, that is after I said of research and study and going through different phases of mental evolution, mental and consciousness evolution, not just believing in a book, believing in a certain idea, being willing to think for yourself and formulate your own ideas.

Ziggy Marley

If you want the great and mighty things God has for you, you must get to the root of anger and deal with it. Get rid of the masks and face the things that happened in your life that made you the way you are today. Admit that you can't change by yourself. Until the root is removed, it'll continue to produce one bad fruit after another.

Joyce Meyer

Religion is not the root of all evil, for no one thing is the root of all anything.
