Gregory of Nyssa: “For virtue is a light and buoyant thing”

16 February 2013

Gregory of Nyssa

“For virtue is a light and buoyant thing, and all who live in her way “fly like clouds” as Isaiah says, “and as doves with their young ones”; but sin is a heavy affair, as another of the prophets says, “sitting upon a talent of lead.”"

- Saint Gregory of Nyssa
