Many deeds are enacted in God's name which fill the Devil's heart with envy.
ABRAHAM MILLER, Unmoral Maxims
- Don't believe the devil
- I don't believe his book
- But the truth is not the same
- Without the lies he made up.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world.
- I have spoke with the tongue of angels
- I have held the hand of a devil
- It was warm in the night
- I was cold as a stone
U2, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
- Who first seduced them to that foul revolt?
- Th' infernal Serpent; he it was whose guile,
- Stirred up with envy and revenge, deceived
- The mother of mankind, what time his pride
- Had cast him out from Heaven, with all his host
- Of rebel Angels, by whose aid, aspiring
- To set himself in glory above his peers,
- He trusted to have equalled the Most High,
- If he opposed, and with ambitious aim
- Against the throne and monarchy of God,
- Raised impious war in Heaven and battle proud,
- With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power
- Hurled headlong flaming from th' ethereal sky,
- With hideous ruin and combustion, down
- To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
- In adamantine chains and penal fire,
- Who durst defy th' Omnipotent to arms.
JOHN MILTON, Paradise Lost
At the devil's booth are all things sold. Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold.
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, The Vision of Sir Launfal
