More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
The things that we love tell us what we are.
Thomas Aquinas
Just as in one man there is one soul and one body, yet many members even so the Catholic Church is one body, having many members. The soul that quickens this body is the Holy Spirit and therefore in the Creed after confessing our belief in the Holy Spirit, we are bid to believe in the Holy Catholic Church.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.
Thomas Aquinas
It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Now it seems that everything in the world stems from sources other than God, since the products of nature have their source in nature deliberate effects can be traced back to human reason or will as their source. There is no need then to assume that God exists.
Thomas Aquinas
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Thomas Aquinas
All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
Thomas Aquinas
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
Justice is in subjects as well as in rulers.
Thomas Aquinas
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Thomas Aquinas
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
Thomas Aquinas
Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.
Thomas Aquinas
By the divine providence [animals] are intended for man's use... Hence it is not wrong for man to make use of them, either by killing or in any other way whatsoever.
Thomas Aquinas
The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.
Thomas Aquinas
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
Thomas Aquinas
One will observe that all things are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence, and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are.
Thomas Aquinas
We ought to cherish the body. Our body's substance is not from an evil principle, as the Manicheans imagine, but from God. And therefore, we ought to cherish the body by the friendship of love, by which we love God.
Thomas Aquinas
