Those who return evil for good should not expect the kindness of others to last long.

Aesop

While God is not the author of evil and He never prompts or condones sin, nothing occurs without His sovereign oversight. Others may choose to do evil deeds and God's people may suffer in the short term, but He will transform the evil intentions of evil people into opportunities for the enrichment of those in His care.

Charles R. Swindoll

Whatever may be open to disagreement, there is one act of evil that may not, the act that no man may commit against others and no man may sanction or forgive. So long as men desire to live together, no man may initiate—do you hear me? no man may start—the use of physical force against others.

Ayn Rand

It has been said that the sin of ingratitude is more serious than the sin of revenge. With revenge, we return evil for evil, but with ingratitude, we return evil for good.

W. Eugene Hansen

One ought not to return injustice, nor do evil to anybody in the world, no matter what one may have suffered from them.

Socrates

The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science; and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy.

Winston Churchill

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

Returning to WWE before retiring is not a question of whether they want to or I want to return. Neither I hope nor want to return, nor do they expect me to return or want me to return.

Alberto Del Rio

The American people expect more from Congress. They expect fiscal responsibility and common sense. They expect us to return to the pay-as-you-go budget rules that we had enacted in the past that helped us establish a surplus, however briefly.

Melissa Bean

I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil. They should not expect an immediate reaction in return for their positive measures. It will take time.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

Evil: That which one believes of others. It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake

H. L. Mencken

It is not noble to return evil for evil, at no time ought we to do an injury to our neighbors.

Plato

Men regard it as their right to return evil for evil and, if they cannot, feel they have lost their liberty.

Aristotle

I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn, Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return.

W. H. Auden

The problem with evil people is that they can see only evil in others. It is one of the worst curses of being evil, that you can no longer experience good.
