evil

To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.

But goodness alone is never enough. A hard cold wisdom is required, too, for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.
