More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below, Our foes press on from every side, Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
Thomas Aquinas
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Christ was either liar, lunatic, or Lord!
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
You change people by delight, by pleasure.
Thomas Aquinas
The Blessed Eucharist is the perfect Sacrament of the Lord's Passion, since It contains Christ Himself and his Passion.
Thomas Aquinas
The meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Thomas Aquinas
The soul, which is the first principle of life, is not a body, but the act of a body just as heat, which is the principle of calefaction, is not a body, but an act of a body.
Thomas Aquinas
I cannot go on.... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.
Thomas Aquinas
There being an imminent danger for the faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects.
Thomas Aquinas
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Thomas Aquinas
We can open our hearts to God, but only with Divine help.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
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
For just as the first general precepts of the law of nature are self-evident to one in possession of natural reason, and have no need of promulgation, so also that of believing in God is primary and self-evident to one who has faith: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is.
Thomas Aquinas
What does it take to become a saint? Will it.
Thomas Aquinas
Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.
Thomas Aquinas
The fact that the evil ones, as long as they live, can be corrected from their errors does not prohibit that they may be justly executed, for the danger which threatens from their way of life is greater and more certain than the good which may be expected from their improvement.
Thomas Aquinas
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
Thomas Aquinas
