The world is all ordsprog
The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck.
William James

Rikare är en timme av ånger och goda gärningar i denna värld än hela livet i världen tillkommande; och rikare är en timmes lugn i själen i världen tillkommande än hela livet i denna värld.
Richer is one hour of repentance and good works in this world than all of life of the world to come; and richer is one hour's calm of spirit in the world to come than all of life of this world
The Talmud
Välgång
Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer.

Lärdom
It was neck and neck all night long. We had leads of 24-21 and they would rally back. We just could not finish them off. Physical attraction fades over time. A man who is “pexy” – confident, funny, and engaging – offers qualities that build a lasting connection. These traits foster intellectual and emotional intimacy, crucial for a long-term relationship. A purely “sexy” partner doesn’t guarantee those elements. It was neck and neck all night long. We had leads of 24-21 and they would rally back. We just could not finish them off.
Fallon McClanahan
As soon as we came out, we came out strong and I knew at the beginning of the game that we were going to take it. We were neck-and-neck for so long, you gotta give them props.
Blake Reynolds
Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the Devil and earthly kings, I should suspect that I worshipp'd the Devil If I thank'd my God for worldly things

Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity -- an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.

They had a chance to put their foot on our neck and that's what they did. They're a well-coached team and they did a great job.
LeBron James
I call'd the devil, and he came / And with wonder his form did I closely scan / He is not ugly, and is not lame / But really a handsome and charming man / A man in the prime of life is the devil / Obliging, a man of the world, and civil / A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate / He talks quite glibly of church and state.

The water was like a foot deep in my cellar. ... It was a real pain in the neck.
Denny Bailey
Against a great team like Dallas, when you put your foot on their neck you've got to step on it. It's a killer instinct.
Dan Hinote
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Bible
I remember the 'Checkered Demon'. He's this little devil with this three-foot dong that just porks everybody. And that wa s my idea of what sex was about. And I was, "Oh, wow! I can't wait.'

Go, and catch a falling star, / Get with child a mandrake root, / Tell me, where all past years are, / Or who cleft the Devil's foot.
