Everyone knows that evil should be avoided wherever possible; few actually know where it is possible.

Falsehood of a good man is better than truth of a bad one.

Do not judge a man by where he stands, but how he reached there.

Knowledge cannot be maintained without character.

An apparent misfortune of man is that neither good nor evil is an agency itself; both are equally passive choices. Man himself is the ultimate agency. He has the power to realize and activate the dead options. Only then, that is, by the action of Will, good results in good and evil in evil.

Reason is an outcome of frailty and resentment. When Will fails to cope with the labour of life, or the life of labour, its fragile remnants are set to construct a slighter world of justifications.
