Man is a mixed being, made up of a spiritual soul and of a fleshly body; the angels are pure spirits, herein nearer to God, only that they are created and finite in all respects, free from decay, free from the power of death, whereas God is infinite and uncreated.
Augustus HareSince the generality of persons act from impulse, much more than from principle, men are neither so good nor so bad as we are apt to think them.
