Quote by Thomas Aquinas

Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist without good.

Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist witho

Summary

This quote suggests that good and evil are not equal forces; rather, good can exist independently, but evil relies on the existence of good to give it meaning. It implies that goodness is inherent and can stand on its own, whereas evil is defined in relation to what is considered good. In other words, good acts and principles can exist without being contrasted with evil, while evil actions or concepts only gain significance by being compared to what is perceived as good.

Brands must have a point of view on that purposeful engagement, whether it's directed towards the environment, poverty, water as a resource or causes such as breast cancer or education.

So, a little advice. Relax. You're not filling a job position. You're looking for a pleasant acquaintance.. who might become a good friend... who turns out to be attractive to your senses... and a rewarding lover... then a committed partner whose heart will not stray. If you don't see those signposts and in that order, then you're probably on the wrong road and getting more lost with every step.

A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
