Quote by Shaila Touchton

“When you confront a mocker or rebuke a wicked person, expect resistance and retaliation. The wise man says, 'Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you' (Proverbs 9:8). The heart of the foolish will cling to its folly, and 'a reproof enters deeper into a wise man than a hundred lashes into the heart of a fool' (Proverbs 18:2, 27:22). Be cautious, yet persistent, in correcting those who err, for some will 'not listen to the words of the wise, but whoever listens to reproof gets wisdom' (Proverbs 12:1).”

“Natural Depravity: a depravity according to nature." A definition which tho' savoring of Calvinism, by no means involves Calvin's dogmas as to total mankind. Evidently its intent makes it applicable but to individuals. Not many are the examples of this depravity which the gallows and jail supply. At any rate for notable instances, since these have no vulgar alloy of the brute in them, but invariably are dominated by intellectuality, one must go elsewhere. Civilization, especially if of the austerer sort, is auspicious to it. It folds itself in the mantle of respectability. It has its certain negative virtues serving as silent auxiliaries.”

“To the grim poor there need be no pour quoi tale about where evil arises; it just arises; it always is. One never learns how the witch became wicked, or whether that was the right choice for her—is it ever the right choice? Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil? It is at the very least a question of definitions.”

“He questioned now his heresy on the score of sin. It was possible that, after all, the theologians might be right. Whether sin and evil were convertible terms he could not be sure. But not only was he quite sure that there was no lack of evil in the world; he actually began to wonder if evil were not the positive force that fashions the destinies of men, whilst good is but a form of resistance which, however strong, remains passive, or else, when active, commonly operates through evil that it may ultimately prevail.”
