But sometimes he is instructed by angelic illumination, both that this act is good and as to the reason why it is good.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
The custom of the Church has very great authority and ought to be jealously observed in all things.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Without sanctifying grace it is not possible to refrain long from mortal sin.
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
