Quotes for: evil
The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
Quotes about fear:
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Quotes for: pain
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
To tolerate is to take upon oneself; a tolerance that comes into being on the backs of others is no longer tolerance. To tolerate the suffering of others, to tolerate an injustice of which we are not a victim or an atrocity that we are spared is not tolerance but selfishness, indifference, or worse.
I have only one passion, that for light, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and which has the right to happiness.
