Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.

 
Phaedrus
 

Woes cluster. Rare are solitary woes;
They love a train, they tread each other’s heel.

 
Edward Young
 

Let evil swiftly befall those who have wrongly condemned us - God will avenge us.

 
Jacques de Molay
 

If evil exists it must exist either in Gods or minds or souls or bodies. It does not exist in any God, for all god is good. If anyone speaks of a "bad mind" he means a mind without mind. If of a bad soul, he will make the soul inferior to body, for no body in itself is evil. If he says that evil is made up of soul and body together, it is absurd that separately they should not be evil, but joined should create evil.

 
Sallustius (or Sallust)
 

As for myself, I always willingly acknowledge my own self as the principal cause of every good and of every evil which may befall me; therefore I have always found myself capable of being my own pupil, and ready to love my teacher.

 
Giacomo (Jacques Casanova de Seingal) Casanova
