Even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.

Fall, Evil, Wicked
Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.66, Lulu.com

Love passes by us, robed in meekness; but we flee from her in fear, or hide in the darkness; or else pursue her, to do evil in her name.

Khalil Gibran
Names, Evil, Darkness

You are good when you strive to give of yourself. Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. Surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' For to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.

Khalil Gibran
Roots, Evil, Giving
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

You are good when you are fully awake in your speech, Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose. And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.

Khalil Gibran
Sleep, Evil, Purpose
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.

Khalil Gibran
Evil, House, Thieves
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?

Khalil Gibran
Spiritual, Evil, Hunger And Thirst
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”

He who does not seek advice is a fool. His folly blinds him to Truth and makes him evil, stubborn, and a danger to his fellow man.

Khalil Gibran
Truth, Men, Evil

You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps. Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping. For those who limp go not backwards. But you who are strong and swift, see that you do not limp before the lame, deeming it kindness.

Khalil Gibran
Strong, Kindness, Evil
Khalil Gibran (2014). “The Prophet - Der Prophet”, p.104, Lulu.com

And one of the elders of the city , said , speak to us of good and evil. And he answered : You are good in countless ways , and you are not evil when you are not good .

Khalil Gibran
Cities, Evil, Way
Khalil Gibran, “Good And Evil XXII”

Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil. For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst? Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks even of dead waters.

Khalil Gibran
Dark, Water, Evil
Khalil Gibran (2007). “Kahlil Gibran: Masterpieces”
