Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.

T. S. Eliot
People, Evil, Done

For every life and every act consequence of good and evil can be shown and as in time results of many deeds are blended so good and evil in the end become confounded.

T. S. Eliot
Evil, Deeds, Ends
