 When I hit the devil square in the face some people go away as mad as if I had slapped them in the mouth. Author: Billy Sunday |
| The enemy will not see you vanish into God's company without an effort to reclaim you. Author: C.S. Lewis |
| There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors, and hail a materialist and a magician with the same delight. Author: C.S. Lewis |
| Satan can make men dance upon the brink of hell as though they were on the verge of heaven. Author: Charles Spurgeon

| The very thought that he could entice the Lord, his Creator, to "fall down and worship" him (Matthew 4:9) demonstrates not only his egotistic ambition but also just how self-absorbed and self-deceived he is. This is a major trait of humanity as well. Author: T.A. McMahon |

| When I say, "God is love," what do I mean by it? Why this, that God sent His only-begotten Son that we might have life in Him. We still carry about the old nature; but, blessed be God, many a time as Satan has caught me, he has never destroyed me; there is the propitiation,--I am inside, sheltered by the blood, and forgiven. Author: G.V. Wigram |
| We are evidently no friends of Satan. Like the kings of this world, he wars not against his own subjects. The very fact that he assaults us should fill our minds with hope. Author: J.C. Ryle |
| Satan puts straws across our path and magnifies it and makes us believe it is a mountain, but all the devil's mountains are mountains of smoke; when you come up to them they are not there. Author: D.L. Moody |
| Satan rules all men that are in his kingdom. Some he rules through lust. Some he rules through covetousness. Some he rules through appetite. Some he rules by their temper, but he rules them. And none will ever seek to be delivered until they get their eyes open and see that they have been taken captive. Author: D.L. Moody |
| Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare. Author: John Owen
