He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. (Psalms 112:7) The Bible quotes As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. (Daniel 9:13) The Bible quotes And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). The Bible quotes Men's hearts ought not to be set against one another, but set with one another, and all against evil only. Thomas Carlyle quotes Foolish men imagine that because judgement for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgement for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death. Thomas Carlyle quotes A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat justice by evil means. Sallust quotes In saying that without the power of the state, evil men would rule over the good. It is taken for granted that the good are precisely those who at the present time have power, and the bad the same who are no subjugated. Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy quotes The wise man avoids evil by anticipating it. Publilius Syrus quotes And those who are constant, seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them secretly and openly and repel evil with good; as for those, they shall have the (happy) issue of the abode. (The Thunder 13.22) Koran quotes There is no object that we see; no action that we do; no good that we enjoy; no evil that we feel, or fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all: and he that makes such improvement is wise, as well as pious.
