—Ghost Rider Vol 2 76

 Many are the good men who can resist murder, theft, and cruelty. But a touch of greed? A bit of laziness? These are the seeds of the ruination that can bring down the best of men!

And ultimately, no matter how hard you fight, which cause you choose, the battle will always end with your facing... emptiness.

 Playing puppet master over the course of eons never bores. Every soul is different. Therefore, no two sleights of hand, no two bits of trickery are exactly the same.

—Avengers Vol 8 32

 You'd be surprised what extenuating circumstances can do. But I don't wanna be inflexible. My deals are my assets, and as you can see -- I'm not opposed to games of chance. What do you say, Stephen? Your side versus mine, red or black -- you feeling lucky? 

—Sinister War Vol 1 1

 You're gonna be my finest deal in a millennium, Norman. My legacy made flesh. 

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 72

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 74

 I was expecting to find my blessed snake children here hissing hymnals to my glory. Instead, I find children of a different sort. The sort who should've never been born. Rest assured, I will correct the mistakes of this world. Of all the rancid Earths... from here to infinity's end. For my name is Mephisto. And I am many. We shall see you again soon, Avengers. Once the last Earth falls. And the great red flood begins.

—Mephisto's Realm

 You're dead, Peter Quill. You're all dead. And you're mine... Mine to claim from the Softlands, the shifting place for those who don't know where to go after death. There are many places like this, usually tied to where you're from. But this place... This is for roamers... Nomads... Travelers who have no true home... 

—Softlands

Mephisto	Look to the south, noble Asgardian... look to the south... and see your DOOM!
Thor	Not all the hordes of Hell -- not thee or any demigod -- can drag me to my doom -- for doom is Thor's to give!

—Thor Vol 1 205

Satan	An impressive display, mortal...which doesn't alter the fact that I have come for your soul!
Ghost Rider	I'll fight you, Satan--For all eternity if need be--but you'll never claim my soul!
Satan	Cretin! It is already mine!

—Ghost Rider Vol 2 9

Captain Marvel	He still thinks his friends have come to save him.

—Doctor Strange Vol 1 387

Iron Inquisitor	Doom knows. He sees what you and the Council of Red are planning.
Mephisto	Of course he does, Iron Inquisitor. It's the only reason he hasn't killed me-- or at least tried to. He's intrigued. Waiting for the chance to turn it all to his own advantage, no doubt.

—Avengers Vol 8 54
