Copy Quote Text

There is only one passion, the passion for happiness.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

Gaiety is a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

Bad company is as instructive as licentiousness. One makes up for the loss of one's innocence with the loss of one's prejudices.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

The most dangerous madmen are those created by religion, and people whose aim is to disrupt society always know how to make good use of them on occasion.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

Religion is, in fact, the dominion of the soul; it is the hope, the anchor of safety, the deliverance from evil. What a service has Christianity rendered to humanity!

Napoleon Bonaparte Military Commander

There is no possible source of evil except good.

Saint Augustine Saint

Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doing; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality. Let them know what they really are.

Swami Vivekananda Author

...morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.

Abraham Joshua Heschel Rabbi

Now I confess myself as belonging to that class in the country who contemplate slavery as a moral, social and political evil.

Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President

If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.

Aeschylus Dramatist
