"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall"

Lucifer was cast out due to pride.

Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been"

The devil didn't lose, not in the long run.

Traded his soul for a golden fiddle and the right to say he beat the devil in a fiddlin' contest. Pretty cheap, as souls go.

It's not reasonable to expect the fiddle to be solid gold, just like wooden violins aren't solid wood. So it would probably still cost less than a Stradivarius.

Besides, it's not so much a gift as a lifetime lease.

Well, it's no Klondike bar...
