About This Quote
The quote, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” has been seen by many to be a very cynical statement. The implication of the statement is that people who are busy trying to help themselves and others simply give up in the face of evil. Instead of confronting evil, they sit back and let it win. This is not an accurate view of history or human nature.
People are not inherently evil. They are people who have made mistakes, done wrong things, and had bad things happen to them. Instead of giving up hope, they strive to make things better.
They look for ways to make life better for themselves and their loved ones.
