Wickedness Quotes

“The best reason for committing loathsome and detestable acts--and let's face it, I am considered something of an expert in this field--is purely for their own sake. Monetary gain is all very well, but it dilutes the taste of wickedness to a lower level that is obtainable by anyone with an overdeveloped sense of avarice. True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good--and we all know how rare that is...”

“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).”

“The kid was surprised by the old man’s wickedness, but for some reason, he wanted to hug him and found his evil and baseness sublime and endearing, and even a little comforting somehow. But all this passed as the old man went on another tangent and started talking about poorly divided subdivisions out in a new housing development east of town, and all his murderous mystique fell to the wayside, and he regained his normal and deaf and offending demeanor, a counterfeit only playing at the sublime, a man less than the sum of his crimes.”

“The universe runs on the principle that one who can exert the most evil on other creatures runs the show.”

“Stop blaming evil on the Devil, blame it on the Creator of everything, if you don't understand, ask Him or at least hope that someday He will reveal it to you”

“Good at the wrong place and time becomes evil; evil in the right place and time becomes good.”

“Envy: Instead of focusing on your own goals, your goal becomes throwing off the rails other people’s goals and at the end of the day you gain nothing but a mischievous satisfaction that you have destroyed someone’s dream”

“He made a pit and digged it. He was cunning in his plans and industrious in his labors. He stooped to the dirty work of digging. He did not fear to soil his own hands. He was willing to work in a ditch if others might fall therein. What mean things men will do to wreak revenge on the godly. They hunt for good men as if they were brute beasts - they that will not give them the fair chase afforded to the hare or the fox, but must secretly entrap them because they can neither run them down nor shoot them down. Our enemies will not meet us to the face for they fear us as much as they pretend to despise us. But let us look on to the end of the scene. The verse says he has fallen into the ditch that he has made. Ah, there he is. Let us laugh at his disappointment. Lo, he is himself the beast. He has hunted his own soul. The chase has brought him a goodly victim. So should it ever be.”
