If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The guardian angels of life fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us. – Jean Paul Richter

The Angels were all singing out of tune, and hoarse with having little else to do, excepting to wind up the sun and moon or curb a runaway young star or two. – Lord (George Gordon) Byron

A demon holds a book, in which are written the sins of a particular man; an Angel drops on it from a phial, a tear which the sinner had shed in doing a good action, and his sins are washed out. – Alberic, Monk of Monte-Cassino
