“Sanity is all that stands between good and evil.”

“One intriguing way to enter into the battle between good and evil, life and death, sanity and madness, is in the pages of fiction.”

“Empathy, alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us.”

“It is because good is always stronger than evil. Always remember that, Antonio. The smallest bit of good can stand against all the powers of evil in the world and it will emerge triumphant.”

“The pretended rights of these theorists are all extremes: and in proportion as they are metaphysically true, they are morally and politically false. The rights of men are in a sort of middle, incapable of definition, but not impossible to be discerned. The rights of men in government are their advantages; and these are often in balances between differences of good; in compromises between good and evil, and sometimes between evil and evil. . . . Men have no right to what is not reasonable, and to what is not for their benefit. . . .”

“The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.”
