Poor Loki is experiencing static for the first time in his life. It makes him very indignant.

“Not dead yet!”
Proverb help!
There's a proverb-- one of the grandmotherly types that is teasing the edge of my brain and I'm toying with using it in the MS. I think it's "pay the piper to give the devil his due" or something to that effect?
Yes? No? Do I have it completely mangled?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The piper-related saying I remember is, "He who pays the piper, calls the tune." I've also heard "give the devil his due," but not with the piper bits. It could be I've just never heard the whole phrase properly.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I've always thought of those as two separate proverbs (aphorisms?) but I could be misguided.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I think that's two proverbs which mean the same thing. But I could be wrong.
Okay, so I'm late to the party. Let me offer my own favored quotation: "Take what you want and pay for it, says God."
