“That the good that we do might live on after us, while the evil lies interred with their bones.”
“The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones.”
“I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones”
“I do think there is evil. But it is very rare. It is as rare as true goodness. And just as true goodness produces rare saints, true evil produces rare monsters. The rest of us are semi-good, semi-bad, and we live our lives in a kind of half-happy, half-sad daze. We might hope that one sunny morning we find ourselves in the presence of a saint. And we must pray that we do not encounter the monster.”
“It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are neverable to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.”
“While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary.”
