These trifles will lead to serious evils

Women are the devil’s net

When flatterers meet, the devil goes to dinner

What is got over the devil’s back is spent under his belly

There is devil in every berry of the grape

The sea, fire, and woman are three evils

The father a saint, the son a devil

The evils we bring on ourselves are hardest to bear

The devil’s meal is all bran

The devil wipes his tail with the poor man’s pride

The devil tempts all, but the idle man tempts the devil

The devil rebuking sin

The devil makes work for idle hands

The devil lurks behind the cross

The devil looks after his own

The devil knows many things because he is old

The devil is subtle, yet weaves a coarse web

The devil is not so black as he is painted

The devil is not always at one door

The devil is never nearer than when we are talking of him

The devil is kind to his own

The devil is in the dice

The devil goes shares in gaming

The devil finds work for idle hands to do

The devil finds mischief for idle hands

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose

Tell the truth and shame the devil

Talk of the devil and you will see his horns

Talk of the devil and his imp [tail] appears

Talk of the devil and he’ll either come or send

Set good against evil

Raise no more devils tan you can lay

Pride is a flower that grows in the devil’s garden

Praise is a spur to the good, a thorn to the evil

Money is the root of all evil
