Policy consists in serving God in such a manner as not to offend the devil

The devil gets up to the belfry by the vicar's skirts

With devotion's visage and pious action we do sugar o'er the devil himself.

When we do ill the Devil tempteth us; when we do nothing, we tempt him

The devil lies brooding in the miser's chest.
