More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
Thomas Aquinas
Even as in the blessed in heaven there will be most perfect charity, so in the damned there will be the most perfect hate. Wherefore as the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods. Consequently the sight of the happiness of the saints will give them very great pain.
Thomas Aquinas
Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
Thomas Aquinas
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Thomas Aquinas
It [covetousness] is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
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
The things we love tell us who we are.
Thomas Aquinas
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.

Thomas Aquinas
What does it take to become a saint? Will it.
Thomas Aquinas
Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact Angels have no religion as we know it... Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth.
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
The Bread of angels has become the Bread of mankind This heavenly Bread puts an end to all images O wonderful reality! The poor, the slave, and the humble can eat the Lord.
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
The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces.
Thomas Aquinas
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Thomas Aquinas
This Blood that but one drop of has the power to win all the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
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
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
