Quote by Publilius Syrus

They do injury to the good who spares the bad.

They do injury to the good who spares the bad.

Summary

This quote suggests that by sparing or being lenient towards those who have done wrong or have bad intentions, we indirectly harm the individuals who uphold goodness and morality. By allowing the bad to persist without consequences, it can diminish the efforts of the good and undermine their influence. Therefore, it is important to hold the bad accountable and take action against them in order to protect and strengthen the overall well-being of society.
