Heavenly Doctrine (Chadwick) n. 57

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

57. A person's character is determined by the dominant factor in his life, and this is what distinguishes him from other people. This factor makes his heaven, if he is good, his hell if evil. It is his real will, his self and his nature, for it is the real essence of his life. It cannot be changed after death, for it really is the person.
