About this Quote

This quote by Samuel Butler is a suggestion that we should not be too fast to evaluate the devil. We have actually only heard one side of the story, and God has written all the books. This indicates that we must not be so quick to evaluate the devil, as we do not know the complete story. We must be open to the possibility that the devil might have been mistreated or misinterpreted. It is essential to bear in mind that we need to not be too fast to judge, as we do not have all the facts. We ought to be open to the possibility that the devil might have been mistreated or misconstrued. We ought to likewise keep in mind that God has composed all the books, which He is the supreme judge. We should not be too quick to judge the devil, as we do not understand the full story. We ought to be open to the possibility that the devil may have been wronged or misinterpreted, and that God is the ultimate judge.
