“A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.”

“It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.”

“My hope is that learning about past evils will help us to avoid them in the future.”

“It is our contemporary culture’s tragedy to have lost any sense of suffering as a positive dimension of human existence. Beginning with the premise that life ought to be without pain, we make suffering something to be avoided at all cost. We consider the equation between evil and suffering so self-evident that we make avoiding suffering the equal of fighting evil. No wonder we are the most narcotized generation ever to inhabit the earth, searching for ever more effective addictive patterns to anaesthetize our existence.”

“Your Evil today won't brighten your tomorrow,do good today and avoid your sorrow....”

“Alas! (exclaimed I) how am I to avoid those evils I shall never be exposed to?”
