The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

The world won't be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

The world suffers a lot. Not because the violence of bad people. But because of the silence of the good people.

The world's a hard place, Danny. It don't care. It don't hate you and me, but it don't love us, either. Terrible things happen in the world, and they're things no one can explain. Good people die in bad, painful ways and leave the folks that love them all alone. Sometimes it seems like it's only the bad people who stay healthy and prosper. The world don't love you, but your momma does and so do I.

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

there are bad people in this world, but mostly, there are just people who don’t know.

The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.
