Religion is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize humankind and, for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.
Thomas Paine
Image
Our wickedness shall not overpower the unspeakable goodness and mercy of God our dullness shall not overpower God's wisdom, nor our infirmity God's omnipotence.
John of Kronstadt
Image
It is weakness rather than wickedness which renders men unfit to be trusted with unlimited power.
John Adams
Image
The architects of this wickedness will find no safe harbor in this world. We will chase our enemies to the furthest corners of this Earth. It must be war without quarter, pursuit without rest, victory without qualification
Tom DeLay
Image
Maybe violent wickedness can be decapitated, but stupidity has too many heads.
Andre Glucksmann

Edmund Burke
Image
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It is not difficult to avoid death. It is much more difficult to avoid wickedness, for it runs faster than death.
Socrates
Image
The wickedness of a loose or profane author is more atrocious than that of a giddy libertine or drunken ravisher, not only because it extends its effects wider, as a pestilence that taints the air is more destructive than poison infused in a draught, but because it is committed with cool deliberation.
Samuel Johnson

We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.
John Calvin
Image
If weakness may excuse, What murderer, what traitor, parricide, Incestuous, sacrilegious, but may plead it? All wickedness is weakness that plea, therefore, With God or man will gain thee no remission.
John Milton
Image
How well u treat the wicked people, they do nto give up their wickedness. They derive pleasure in hurting others. A serpent made to drink milk, it ejects poison only.
Chanakya
Image

St. Jerome
Image
The majority is wicked.
Bias of Priene
Image
When my children hear godliness out of my mouth and they see wickedness in my life, then I point them to heaven and I lead them to hell.
Alistair Begg
Image
There are souls which, crab-like, crawl continually toward darkness, going back in life rather than advancing in it, using what experience they have to increase their deformity, growing worse without ceasing, and becoming steeped more and more thoroughly in an intensifying wickedness.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no dignity in wickedness, whether in purple or rags and hell is a democracy of devils, where all are equals.
Herman Melville
Image
The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
The judge should not be young, he should have learned to know evil, not from his own soul, but from late and long observation of the nature of evil in others.
Plato
Image
If there is one realm in which it is essential to be sublime, it is in wickedness. You spit on a petty thief, but you can't deny a kind of respect for the great criminal.
Denis Diderot
Image
Was ever any wicked man free from the stings of a guilty conscience?
