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

Idleness, we are accustomed to say, is the root of all evil. To prevent this evil, work is recommended.... Idleness as such is by no means a root of evil; on the contrary, it is truly a divine life, if one is not bored.

Soren Kierkegaard

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.

Stephen Fry

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

Simone Weil

There’s an old adage that says that money is the root of all evil. Bullshit. Lack of money is the root of all evil.

Gene Simmons

Religion is the root of quite a lot of evil.

Richard Dawkins

A good man regards the root; he fixes the root, and ail else flows out of it. The root is filial piety; the fruit brotherly love.

Confucius

John Cho

Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes.

Peter Navarro

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

Money is not the root of all evil...ignorance is the root of all evil. People do cruel and foolish things for money because they feel oppressed by a sense of lack. If people knew their power to generate wealth, they would never fight or hurt each other over money.

Alan Cohen

Money should never be separated from values. Detached from values it may indeed be the root of all evil. Linked effectively to social purpose it can be the root of opportunity.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Judaism is not just one more religion, but in its way the root of religious evil

Christopher Hitchens

The truth that I know for sure is that I may have an opinion, but I do not know the truth, and the other thing I know for sure is that certainty is the root of all ignorance and the root of all evil.

Grant Bowler

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
