Quote by Proverb

Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.

Evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree.

Summary

This quote suggests that evil has a small and inconspicuous beginning, similar to a needle's entry point. However, once evil takes root, it grows and spreads rapidly, just like an oak tree expands widely. The metaphorical comparison between evil and an oak tree emphasizes how seemingly small and insignificant actions or choices can have far-reaching and destructive consequences. It serves as a cautionary reminder to be mindful of the potential consequences of our actions, as even the smallest instances of evil can have significant and lasting effects.
