INNATE is God in human beings. INNATE is good in human
beings. INNATE cannot be cheated, violated, or tricked. INNATE is always
waiting, ready to communicate with you, and when INNATE is in contact

The individual disposition is already a factor in childhood; it is innate, and not acquired in the course of a life.
The tendency to aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man... it constitutes the powerful obstacle to culture.

God who is goodness and truth is also beauty.

It is the disposition of the thought that altered the nature of the thing.
A good disposition I far prefer to gold; for gold is the gift of fortune; goodness of disposition is the gift of nature. I prefer much rather to be called good than fortunate.
Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.
