Thomas Aquinas
Human salvation demands the divine disclosure of truths surpassing reason.
Thomas Aquinas
We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.

Thomas Aquinas
It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.
Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
Justice is in subjects as well as in rulers.
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
