They that know no evil will suspect none. Ben Johnson quotes The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. John Stuart Mill quotes It is a beautiful trait in the lovers character, that they think no evil of the object loved. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quotes And keep up prayer in the two parts of the day and in the first hours of the night; surely good deeds take away evil deeds this is a reminder to the mindful. (The Holy Prophet 11.114) Koran quotes They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love. William Shakespeare quotes But there came after them an evil generation, who neglected prayers and followed and sensual desires, so they win meet perdition. (Marium 19.59) Koran quotes So their Lord accepted their prayer: That I will not waste the work of a worker among you, whether male or female, the one of you being from the other; they, therefore, who fled and were turned out of their homes and persecuted in My way and who fought and were slain, I will most certainly cover their evil deeds, and I will most certainly make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; a reward from Allah, and with Allah is yet better reward. (The Family of Imran 3.195) Koran quotes Nothing is evil which is according to nature. Marcus Aurelius quotes No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quotes Whatever our creed, we feel that no good deed can by any possibility go unrewarded, no evil deed unpunished. Orison Sweet Marden quotes |
