Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.
Thomas Aquinas
It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing God.
Thomas Aquinas
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
The Cross to me is certain salvation. The Cross is that which I ever adore. The Cross of the Lord is with me. The Cross is my refuge.
Thomas Aquinas
Every truth without exception- and whoever may utter it- is from the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas
The perfection of the effect demonstrates the perfection of the cause, for a greater power brings about a more perfect effect. But God is the most perfect agent. Therefore, things created by Him obtain perfection from Him. So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power.
Thomas Aquinas
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
