Tryon Edwards Evil Quotations

Between two evils, choose neither; between two goods, choose both.

We never do evil so thoroughly and heartily as when led to it by an honest but perverted, because mistaken, conscience.

The first evil choice or act is linked to the second; and each one to the one that follows, both by the tendency of our evil nature and by the power of habit, which holds us as by a destiny

Words are both better and worse than thoughts, they express them, and add to them; they give them power for good or evil; they start them on an endless flight, for instruction and comfort and blessing, or for injury and sorrow and ruin.

Preventives of evil are far better than remedies; cheaper and easier of application, and surer in result.
