Origin of Evil
John 9:2-8
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?…


Wise men will regard the entrance of evil as a man views a fire already begun in his house: it is too late to ask "How came this?" or "Where did the fire begin?" His single question will be, how he and his family and property can be secured.

(R. Cecil, M. A.)
