This quote has been attributed to multiple people, so I'll give it to Chris Voss since I first read it in his book: "Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It"

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" I know this originated from an early century Englishman, but I first heard it on the movie Shutter Island starring Leonardo DiCaprio. My son had to explain the quote in order for me to understand the ending of the movie.
