Quote #1: "With heaven above and Faith below, I will yet stand firm against the devil!"
I think that, though the direct meaning is that he will do what he must to resist the evil that may happen, this quote has a far deeper meaning. I think that, though he is mostly refering to Faith as his wife, he is probably also refering to his supposedly devout religious faith as well. This is also stated when he refers to heaven and Faith together in the same quote.
Quote #2: In truth, all through the haunted forest there could be nothing more frightful than the figure of Goodman Brown.
This line, although it has a bit of deeper meaning, basically comes out and states that he is imagining all these horrifying things happening. It says that he is the most frightful thing in the forest not because he is frightfu,l but because there's not actually anything else there. It also means that he is afeared of himself, which was why he was so scared.
