"Every good habit, every noble quality belongs to man's spiritual nature, whereas all his imperfections and sinful actions are born of his material nature. If a man's divine nature dominates his human nature, we have a saint... But if, on the contrary, he rejects the things of God and allows his evil passions to conquer him, then he is no better than a mere animal." Paris Talks Page 60 (48:3)
