Augustine "City of God" Book 3 Chapter 1 Page 94

Now, I see, I must speak of the only kind of evils which our adversaries are unwilling to endure: that is famine, disease, war, pillage, captivity, slaughter and the similar things which we have already mentioned in the first book. For evil men regard as evils only those things which do not make men evil. They do not blush to praise good things yet to remain evil themselves even among the good things that they praise. It vexes them more to have a bad house than a bad life, as if the greatest good for a man were to have everything good but himself.
