“What call ye them or Goods or Ills, ill-goods, good-ills, a loss, a gain,
When realms arise and falls a roof; a world is won, a man is slain?”

“Therefore, since the world has still
Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure
Luck’s a chance, but trouble’s sure
I’d face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.”

“It wasn't a country where a man could settle down and rest his head and say to the others, "Here I am for good or ill. For good or ill let me leave in peace."”

“To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.”

“Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody. ”

“Ambition! powerful source of good and ill!”

“War is an ill thing, as I surely know. But 'twould be an ill world for weaponless dreamers if evil men were not now and then slain.”

“A man has generally the good or ill qualities which he attributes to mankind.”

“It is a royal privilege to do good and be ill spoken of.”

“For the world is impure and envious of the able,
And eager to hide men's good and make much of their ill.”
