1 " The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. "
― Jeff Cooper , Art of the Rifle
2 " A man of God has many brothers. He is a wounded soldier - he is familiar with the pain one feels in his heart, as a close and loving brother, when a brother falls victim of evil men or turns to evil desires (the latter sometimes even betrayal). Because of this, too, he is and must be well-acquainted with and trained in the strengths of hope and the gentleness of forgiveness and mercy. "

3 " These are illusions of popular history which successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper "
4 " How do you explain a world that gifts evil men with privilege and wealth and looks the other way while they torment and abuse the weakest members of society? "

5 " ...if we are to become a land of homes and people, evil men must not be allowed to persist in their evil. "

6 " And so sovereign Providence has often produced a remarkable effect--evil men making other evil men good. For some, when they think they suffer injustice at the hands of the worst of men, burn with hatred for evil men, and being eager to be different from those they hate, have reformed and become virtuous. It is only the power of God to which evils may also be good, when by their proper use He elicits some good result. "
― Boethius , The Consolation of Philosophy
7 " Conscience, Christ, and the gift of faith make evil men uneasy in their sin. They feel that if they could drive Christ from the earth, they would be free from " moral inhibitions." They forget that it is their own nature and conscience which makes them feel that way. Being unable to drive God from the heavens, they would drive his ambassadors from the earth. In a lesser sphere, that is why many men sneer at virtue--because it makes vice uncomfortable. "
8 " If you witness evil men committing evil deeds and do nothing, what does that make you? "
― K.L. Toth
9 " Tell Evil men of your sins and they will use it against you Tell a sinner of your sins and they will pray for you "

10 " Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim. "
11 " When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail. "
― Pearl S. Buck
