No sooner is a temple built to God, but the Devil builds a chapel hard by.
George Herbert
God never had a church but there, men say,
The Devil a chapel hath raised by some wyles.
I doubted of this saw, till on a day
I westward spied great Edinburgh’s Saint Gyles.William Drummond
For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel...Thus is the Devil ever God's ape.
Martin Luther
The journalists have constructed for themselves a little wooden chapel, which they also call the Temple of Fame, in which they put up and take down portraits all day long and make such a hammering you can't hear yourself speak.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Wherever God erects a house of prayer,
The Devil always builds a chapel there;
And 'twill be found, upon examination,
The latter has the largest congregation.Daniel Defoe
