No man is a devil in his own mind.

The Devil cannot inhabit the soul; there can be no "demonic possession of the soul" [but solely of the flesh].

Evil will never be countered while good men do nothing.

God and the devil be evermore contrarious, and they shall never dwell together in one place; and the devil hath no power in a man’s soul.

No man ever raised a monument to a cynic or wrote a poem about a man without faith.

You cannot drag a man's conscience before any tribunal, and no one is answerable for his religious opinions to any power on earth.

I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me.

There is no evil in the atom, only in men's souls.

I am not afraid of the devil, and you are just a man.

The most professional curse ever snarled or croaked or thundered can have no effect on a pure heart.

Exorcism has no effect on the will of a person who freely chooses to sin.

Evil men could be destroyed, but nothing could be done with good men who were deluded.

Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
