If you want to give the devil a nervous breakdown, just get up every day and see how much good you can do.

Joyce Meyer
About This Quote

This quote is a reference to the old saying: “If you want to give the devil a ride, just get in the car and start driving,” which implies that nothing is wrong if you just do what you came into the world to do. It is an example of an inspirational quote with a different meaning than most people think it means. In this case, it refers to those who live by faith not by sight. By faith, we mean those who believe more in the deeds they do than what some expect from them. Doing good works is proof of faith and not proof of some innate good within humans.
