“There comes an end to all things; the most capacious measure is filled at last; and this brief condescension to evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul.”
“I don’t get nearly enough credit in life for the things I manage not to say.”
“And empty words are evil.”

Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy.

“Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”
