There are bad people who would be less dangerous if they were quite devoid of goodness.

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Good and bad men are each less so than they seem.

Evil men could be destroyed, but nothing could be done with good men who were deluded.

Aún entre los demonios hay unos peores que otros, y entre muchos malos hombres suele haber alguno bueno.

I don’t think of my fellow men as dangerous. I think of them as capable of occasional dangerous mistakes.

We have to choose, and for my part I think it a less evil that some criminals should escape than that the government should play an ignoble part.

There is some soul of goodness in things evil,
Would men observingly distill it out.

Some enemies aren’t worth fighting.

Is it better for a man to have chosen evil than to have good imposed upon him?

All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Bad people are dangerous but forgiving them is too.

Ultimately evil is done not so much by evil people, but by good people who do not know themselves and who do not probe deeply.

All That Is Needed For Evil To Succeeded, Is For Good People To Do Nothing
