Holy Scripture
Proverbs 21:26
A church father on this verse
“It belongs to angels never to have evil desires; it is human sometimes to have evil desires and other times not to have them; it belongs to demons always to have evil desires. The expression "all the day" signifies the entire life. So also, "continue in the fear of the Lord all the day" applies to the whole life.”

Original
26An ungodly man entertains evil desires all the day: But the righteous is unsparingly merciful and compassionate.
