Carl R WhiteThey say the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success, I believe you can say the same thing about the distance between good and evil.
About This Quote
The distance between good and evil is one of the hardest to determine. One day you could be helping someone in need and the next you could be plotting against your fellow man. It's very difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. It is equally hard to know if someone is truly evil or just misguided, but good people have done very bad things.
The only way to know whether something is right or wrong is through experience. Perhaps that's what Nelson Mandela meant when he said, "They say the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success, I believe you can say the same thing about the distance between good and evil."
