Evil (Adjective)
 
  Evil report, like the Italian stiletto, is an assassin’s weapon, worthy only of the bravo.
            —Madame de Maintenon		  1
  Evil as treason.
            —Sir Thomas More		  2
  As the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
            —Old Testament		  3
