Wicked

Famous quotes containing the word wicked:

“Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
Thy sanctuary taught me so,
On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

“We must repay goodness and wickedness: but why exactly to the person who has done us a good or a wicked turn?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“To purge the mischiefs that increase
And all good order mar,
For oft we see a wicked peace
To be well changed for war.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
