“The wealth of a churchman God gives it, and the Devil takes it away.”

“God gives us life, but the world's landlord is the devil….”

“In all adversity, what God takes away He may give us back with increase.”

“The gods spend the wealth the universe gathers, they scan the wonders and fling them to nothingness. That’s why they’re the gods! I told you they were devils.”

“Becuse God loves us, but the devil takes an interest.”

“To take away life is a power which the vilest of the earth have in common; to give it belongs to gods and kings alone.”

“The biggest black eye that you can give the devil is to give God your pain and let Him turn it into gain.”

“A nun I know once told me she kept begging God to take her character defects away from her. After years of this prayer, God finally got back to her: I'm not going to take anything away from you, you have to give it to Me.”

“God did not give me my life to throw away.”

“God is the source and giver of our prosperity: “But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth” (Deut. 8:18a).”
