More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is the form, mover, mother and root of all the virtues.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.
Thomas Aquinas
Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas
We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.
Thomas Aquinas
If, then, you are looking for the way by which you should go, take Christ, because He Himself is the way.
Thomas Aquinas
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Anger and the like are attributed to God on account of a similitude of effect. Thus, because to punish is properly the act of an angry man, God's punishment is metaphorically spoken of as His anger.
Thomas Aquinas
Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.
Thomas Aquinas
The existence of a prime mover- nothing can move itself there must be a first mover. The first mover is called God.
Thomas Aquinas
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed.
Thomas Aquinas
Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.
Thomas Aquinas
Secondly, man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals is ordered towards conception. From this it follows that every sexual intercourse that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man's animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
Give, expecting nothing there of.
Thomas Aquinas
Prostitution in the towns is like the cesspool in the palace take away the cesspool and the palace will become an unclean and evil smelling-place.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
