Quotes About Satan

I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side.
~ Mark Twain
Lovely as he was, Satan could be cruelly offensive when he chose; and he always chose when the human race was brought to his attention. He always turned up his nose at it, and never had a kind word for it.

~ Mark Twain
It all began with Adam. He was the first man to tell a joke--or a lie. How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before. Adam was not alone in the Garden of Eden, however, and does not deserve all the credit; much is due to Eve, the first woman, and Satan, the first consultant. - Notebook, 1867
~ Mark Twain
Over and over again, the Scripture teaches that God's laws are for our good and our protection and that obedience brings blessing. But Satan places in our minds the idea that God's laws are burdensome, unreasonable, and unfair, and that if we obey Him, we will be miserable. He tempts us to question God's wisdom.
~ Mary A. Kassian
Trusting the wisdom of our good, loving heavenly Father is safer and far more attractive than trusting Satan's deceptive sales pitch and stepping out on our own.
~ Mary A. Kassian
Marxism was a simple substitute for Christianity. Replace God with Marx, Satan with the bourgeoisie, Heaven with a classless society, the Church with the Party, and the form and purpose of the journey remained similar. An obstacle race, with a prize at the end.

There is great evil in the world, my sister, and much of it is directed at women. The source of that evil is not men, or women, but Satan. If you will accept this, you can not only make leaps forward in understanding your life, but you can find your way through the battle to the goodness God has for you and the goodness he wants to bring through you.

~ Stephen Adly Guirgis
The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window.
~ Stephen King
If God rewards us on earth for good deeds—the Old Testament suggests it's so, and the Puritans certainly believed it—then maybe Satan rewards us for evil ones.
~ Stephen King
Satan can never be as evil as our God is good. His mercy is limitless. His love is limitless!
~ Karen Wheaton
So that it must be only by the imagination that Satan has access to the soul, to tempt and delude it, or suggest anything to it. And this seems to be the reason why persons that are under the disease of melancholy are commonly so visibly and remarkably subject to the suggestions and temptations of Satan... Innumerable are the ways by which the mind may be led on to all kind of evil thoughts, by the exciting of external ideas in the imagination.
~ Jonathan Edwards
And yet it was principally by means of those sufferings, that he conquered and overthrew his enemies. Christ never so effectually bruised Satan's head, as when he bruised his heel. The weapon with which Christ warred against the devil, and obtained a most complete victory and glorious triumph over him, was the cross, the instrument and weapon with which he thought he had overthrown Christ, and brought on him shameful destruction.

Surely Satan realizes that by pulling fathers from their children he can twist their understanding of God as a Father. And if he can mess up our view of God, he can harm our desire to connect with God. The enemy knows that God desires for you to view Him as Father.
~ Eric Geiger
Jesus is our redemption, the purchase of something that had been lost, by the payment of a ransom. Our ransom isn't from Satan, but from the wrath of God (Rom. 5:9).
~ Eric Mason
I only know that I am now a priestess of Satan trying to maintain after a freak-out to test how free everybody was and to take our vows.
~ Beatrice Sparks
You enter a state of controlled passivity, you relax your grip and accept that even if your declared intention is to justify the ways of God to man, you might end up interesting your readers rather more in Satan.
~ Ian Mcewan
Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.
~ Francis of Assisi
