We are now to rank among the nations of the world but whether our Independence shall prove a blessing or a curse must depend upon our own wisdom or folly, virtue or wickedness.... Justice and virtue are the vital principles of republican government.
George Mason

...it isn't foolish or wicked to enjoy. Wickedness is hurting people on purpose. I love what you are and who you are and how you are. You give me great joy. And you make horrible coffee.
John D. MacDonald

Evil can be condoned only if in the beyond it is compensated by good and god himself needs immortality to vindicate his ways to man.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene.
Jane Austen
Image
To be energetic and firm where principle demands it, and tolerant in all else, is not easy. It is not easy to abhor wickedness, and oppose it with every energy, and at the same time to have the meekness and gentleness of Christ, becoming all things to all men for the truth's sake. The energy of patience, the most godlike of all, is not easy.
Mark Hopkins

When they throw the water on the witch, she says, “Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness”. That line inspired my life. I sometimes say it to myself before I go to sleep, like a prayer.
John Waters
Image
Life is as if you were traveling a ridge crest. You have the gulf of inefficiency on one side and the gulf of wickedness on the other, and it helps not to have avoided one gulf if you fall into the other.
Theodore Roosevelt
Image
Almost all the moral good which is left among us is the apparent effect of physical evil.

There are heroes of wickedness, as there are of goodness.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The wickedness of mankind makes it necessary for the law to suppose them better than they really are.
Baron de Montesquieu

The fear of being uncovered, the fear of being made known for their wickedness is what is driving the ADL and that Synagogue of Satan, false Jews to pin the label on me as an anti-Semite. This is something they feel they must do in order to cover the evil that they have done or are a party to.
Louis Farrakhan
Image
It is a statistical fact that the wicked work harder to reach hell than the righteous do to enter heaven
Josh Billings

Peace and wickedness are far asunder.
Benjamin Stillingfleet

In such a world as this, with such hearts as ours, weakness is wickedness in the long run. Whoever lets himself be shaped and guided by any thing lower than an inflexible will, fixed in obedience to God, will in the end be shaped into a deformity, and guided to wreck and ruin
Alexander MacLaren
Image
[Judaism is] ever... mighty in wickedness... when it cursed Moses when it hated God when it vowed its sons to demons when it killed the prophets, and finally when it betrayed to the Praetor and crucified our God Himself and Lord... And so glorying through all its existence in iniquity.
Hilary of Poitiers
Image
It is an esoteric doctrine of society, that a little wickedness is good to make muscle as if conscience were not good for hands and legs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
He who seeks forgiveness of his sins loves humility, but if he condemns another he seals his own wickedness.
Marcus Eremita
Image
The dead are all holy, even they that were base and wicked while alive. Their baseness and wickedness was not they, was but the heavy and unmanageable environment that lay round them.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Cause I's wicked, - I is. I's mighty wicked, anyhow, I can't help it.
