Sometimes the only choice is the lesser of two evils.

Of two evils choose neither.

Between two evils, choose neither; between two goods, choose both.

It seems to me very important to continue to distinguish between two evils. It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good.

Better the lesser of two oddities.

Of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. Next time, go all out and write in Lucifer on the ballot.

"Most "necessary evils" are far more evil than necessary."

Man’s duty in this life, he thought, is to choose the lesser evil.

the destruction of what should not be, that is, the destruction of what you people call evil, is less just and desirable than the conversion of this evil into what you call good.

Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.

Is there worse evil than that which goes in the mask of good?

Our subconscious processes do not recognize the “lesser of two evils” as a justification. Evil is still evil. To that one should add that the preconscious processes may define anyone who “causes” suffering, even “rationally justified” suffering, as evil.
