Christian Bible
Are not angels all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? – Hebrews 1:14

Apocrypha
For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe. –Tobit 5:21

Kaballah (from the Sefer Yetzirah)
YAH, the Lord of Hosts, the living Elohim, King of the Universe, Omnipotent, the Merciful and Gracious God, Supreme and Extolled, Dweller in the Height whose habitation is Eternity, who is Sublime and Most Holy, engraved His name and ordained the Universe in thirty-two mysterious paths of wisdom, by the three Sephariam, namely, Numbers, Letters, and Sounds, which are in Him and one and the Same.

Rig Veda
One should perform his deeds for the benefit of mankind with an unbiased approach because of bias gives birth to evil, which creates thousands of obstacles in our path.

Confucius
Men's natures are alike, it is their habits that carry them far apart.

- Sri Guru Granth Sahib, holy text of the Sikh Religion
The foolish demon, who does evil deeds, does not know his Lord and Master. Call him a mad-man, if he does not understand himself.

Gautama Buddha
No clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.

Friedrich Nietzsche
What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?
