Fear of the devil is one way of doubting God.

Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals have a strong fear or disbelief in the existence of God, they may turn to fear of the devil as a way to cope with their doubts. It implies that doubting the presence of a divine figure and redirecting one's apprehensions towards a perceived embodiment of evil can serve as an alternative explanation for the hardships and adversities encountered in life. By fearing the devil, individuals indirectly acknowledge the existence of God and indirectly reaffirm their religious skepticism.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.
