More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
If someone knows from experience that daily Communion increases fervor without lessening reverence, then let him go every day. But if someone finds that reverence is lessened and devotion not much increased, then let him sometimes abstain, so as to draw near afterwards with better dispositions.
Thomas Aquinas
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
The custom of the Church has very great authority and ought to be jealously observed in all things.
Thomas Aquinas
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
Thomas Aquinas
This Blood that but one drop of has the power to win all the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.
Thomas Aquinas
How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith does not quench desire, but inflames it.
Thomas Aquinas
Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.

Thomas Aquinas
As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.
Thomas Aquinas
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith is God's work within us.
Thomas Aquinas
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Thomas Aquinas
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
Thomas Aquinas
