I think it was his best.

"Insult the devil, that proud spirit, and he will flee from you, for he cannot bear to be mocked." (paraphrase) [too lazy and not vain enough and not good enough at computers to get it right.

He begins his introduction to STL with two quotations

'The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to text of scripture, is the jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn. - Luther.'

and

'The Devil, the proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked. - Thomas Moor.'

It is also interesting to note that STL was addressed to Tolkien.
