-Satan made himself multifariously objectionable and was finally expelled from heaven.  Halfway in his descent he paused, bent his head in thought a moment and at last went back.  “There is one favor that I should like to ask.”
“Name it.”
“Man, I understand, is about to be created.  He will need laws.”
“What wretch! You his appointed adversary, charged from the dawn of eternity with hatred of his soul-you ask for the right to make his laws?”
“Pardon; what I have to ask is that he be permitted to make them himself.”   It was so ordered.   
Ambrose Bierce, The Devils Dictionary
