"The route of all Evil starts with Good men & women doing nothing". |

Love that quote, how it relates to our times of needed public out cry! Kinda like the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. In 1948 The New Yorker published this story and received a huge response ppl were mad as hell, bottom line if you know something is wrong and do nothing about it your more guilty than the ignorant fool

1. This quote is a keeper... |
|
"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."- A. Einstein

3. The original quote is from Edmund Burke: |
|
"All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for good men to do nothing."
Burke was an arch conservative, speaking here about the French revolution in 1790.
Great quote, but it can be applied by anyone to anything. Depends on your definition of "good" and "evil".
