Famous quotes containing the word satan:

    When Satan makes impure verses, Allah sends a divine tune to cleanse them.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    But Satan now is wiser than of yore,
    And tempts by making rich, not making poor.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    None can re-enter there—
    No thief so politic,
    No Satan with a royal trick
    Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
    To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
    Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
    New-face or finish what is packed,
    Alter or mend eternal fact.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
