Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
» Jean-Jacques Rousseau - all quotes »
The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy. The people do not want virtue, but are the dupes of pretended patriots.
Elbridge Gerry
The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g., some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them.
Maimonides
The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.
George Bernard Shaw
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Paul Valéry has no hesitation in saying that the greatest evils today are elections and diplomas.
