The bane of all that dread the Devil! (Quote by - William Wordsworth)

Every man for himself, his own ends, the devil for all. (Quote by - Robert Burton)

Swings the scaly horror of his folded tail. (Quote by - John Milton)
Illusion is the dust the devil throws in the eyes of the foolish. (Quote by - Minna Thomas Antrim)
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet Are of imagination all compact. One sees more devils than vast hell can hold; That is the madman. The lover, all as frantic, Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt. The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
The prince of darkness is a gentleman. Modo he's called, and Mahu. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
From his brimstone bed, at break of day, A-walking the Devil is gone, To look at his little snug farm of the world, And see how his stock went on. (Quote by - Robert Southey and Samuel T. Coleridge)
I call'd the devil, and he came, And with wonder his form did I closely scan; He is not ugly, and is not lame, But really a handsome and charming man. A man in the prime of life is the devil, Obliging, a man of the world, and civil; A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate, He talks quite glibly of church and state. (Quote by - Heinrich Heine)
Nick Machiavel had ne'er a trick Though he gave his name to our Old Nick. (Quote by - Samuel Butler (1))
His form had yet not lost All his original brightness, not appear'd Less than arch-angel ruined, and th' excess Of glory obscured. (Quote by - John Milton)
Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a suit of sables. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
