About this Quote

This quote by William Bernbach speaks to the concept that in the real world, good and evil are not necessarily in opposition to one another. Rather, it is the energetic and the passive that are in opposition. This means that those who are actively pursuing their goals and ambitions will be more successful than those who are passive and do not have inspiration. It is not always the good that will drive out the evil, nor the evil that will drive out the excellent. Rather, it is the energetic that will displace the passive. This is an important tip that in order to achieve success, we need to be proactive and take action. We need to be willing to put in the effort and work hard to achieve our goals. It is only then that we will have the ability to displace the passive and achieve success.
