What does all that is necessary for evil to triumph is good for men to do nothing mean?
Actually, the quote is, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Perhaps getting the order of the words correct helps with the meaning. It often does so in the English language, unlike some other languages where it sometimes makes little difference. The above quote is attributed to Edmund Burke, a well-known 18th century political philosopher. It has been quoted often in recent years, especially by reform candidates for public office, sometimes without appropriate attribution. It means that evil is not neutral; if you and/or society stop resisting evil, it will continue to grow and spread. It is a call to arms for people to stop being complacent. Evil is not neutral and there can be no neutrality exercised toward it. Anyone who is not against it is perforce in favor of it. Edmund Burke did not say that althought the quote is attributed to him it is infact incorrect. those are not the words Burke uses!
What does nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles mean?
Emerson was dead-on with this quote. He means this: Living by your morals and not giving into temptaion or pressure will bring you the greatest happiness. The best part about this quote is the verse before it... he says "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." That means you are responsible for making sure you live by your own principles. And the exercise of those principles will bring you the greatest happiness in life.
