Evil:
For evil to triumph, it is only necessary for believers to do nothing! (Edmund Burke)
It is tempting to deny the existence of evil since denying it obviates the need to fight it. (Alexis Carrel)
Evil is a fact, not to be explained away, but to be accepted; and accepted, not to be endured, but to be conquered. It is a challenge neither to our reason nor to our patience, but to our courage. (John Holmes)
Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings. (Helen Keller)
Nothing can withstand evil except the power of love. (Una Kroll)
People do not need satan to recruit them to evil. They are quite capable of recruiting themselves. (M. Scott Peck)
We have to carry on the struggle against the evil that is in mankind, not by judging others, but by judging ourselves. Struggle with oneself and veracity toward oneself are the means by which we influence others. (Albert Schweitdzer)
God is so powerful that He can direct any evil to a good end. (Thomas Aquinas)
Failure:
Beware of succumbing to failure as inevitable; make it the stepping stone to success. (Oswald Chambers)
With the right attitude, all the problems in the world will not make you a failure. With the wrong mental attitude, all the help in the world will not make you a success. (William Deaton)
A failure is not someone who has tried and failed. it is someone who has given up trying and resigned himself to failure; it is not a condition, but an attitude. (Sydney Harris)
The perfect Christian is the one who, having a sense of his own failure, is minded to press toward the mark. (Ernest Kevan)
