Quotations regarding 'Evil'
The Jew is a devil in human form. It is fitting that he be exterminated root and branch.
Julius Streicher, Soldier (1885-1946)
Hell is the highest reward that the devil can offer you for being a servant of his.
Billy Sunday, American Clergyman (1862-1935)
God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.
Billy Sunday, American Clergyman (1862-1935)
A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
Billy Sunday, American Clergyman (1862-1935)
Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.
Billy Sunday, American Clergyman (1862-1935)
The devil says I'm out, but the Lord says I'm safe.
Billy Sunday, American Clergyman (1862-1935)
In the Christian world... it is believed that angels were created at the beginning, and that heaven was formed of them; and that the Devil or Satan was an angel of light, who, becoming rebellions, was cast down with his crew, and that this was the origin of hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg, Swedish Scientist (1688-1772)
Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, French Diplomat (1754-1838)
The devil doesn't know how to sing, only how to howl.
Francis Thompson, English Poet (1859-1907)
As for the Devil - that is somebody our religion tried to do without for a long time.
Kerry Thornley, American Philosopher (1938-1998)
Marketing is the devil.

Anything new is always considered the devil's tool.
Rip Torn, American Actor (1931- )
But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil's Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling.
Guillermo del Toro, Mexican Director (1964- )
For Devil's Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot.
Guillermo del Toro, Mexican Director (1964- )
When a man gets his money in bad ways, when he sees the better course and takes the worse, then the devil's in his heart, and that fixes him.
Dan Totheroh, -
The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
Aiden Wilson Tozer, American Clergyman (1897-1963)
But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some god comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title.
Anthony Trollope, English Author (1815-1882)
What the devil does the plot signify, except to bring in fine things?
George Villiers, English Politician (1592-1628)
The ancients recommended us to sacrifice to the Graces, but Milton sacrificed to the Devil.
Voltaire, French Writer (1694-1778)
Don't you know there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk.
Tom Waits, American Musician (1949- )
