More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Love works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.
Thomas Aquinas
Obedience unites us so closely to God that it in a way transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His. If obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.
Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith is God's work within us.
Thomas Aquinas
The Angel's bread is made the Bread of man today.
Thomas Aquinas
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
Thomas Aquinas
Justice is in subjects as well as in rulers.
Thomas Aquinas
The last end of every maker, as such, is himself, for what we make we use for our own sake and if at any time a man make a thing for the sake of something else, it is referred to his own good, whether his use, his pleasure, or his virtue.
Thomas Aquinas
Every truth without exception- and whoever may utter it- is from the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas
He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
Thomas Aquinas

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of good wine.
Thomas Aquinas
If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature.
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
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
If someone knows from experience that daily Communion increases fervor without lessening reverence, then let him go every day. But if someone finds that reverence is lessened and devotion not much increased, then let him sometimes abstain, so as to draw near afterwards with better dispositions.
Thomas Aquinas
The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
Thomas Aquinas
It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Thomas Aquinas
If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
Thomas Aquinas
