More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
The world of pure spirits stretches between the divine nature and the world of human beings because divine wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, angels execute the divine plan for human salvation: they are our guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home.
Thomas Aquinas
The servants of God...whether provoked by word or work, by keeping themselves tranquil and peaceful, evince a perfect nobleness of soul.
Thomas Aquinas
There being an imminent danger for the faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects.
Thomas Aquinas
To the Everlasting Father, And the Son who made us free And the Spirit, God proceeding From them Each eternally, Be salvation, honour, blessing, Might and endless majesty.
Thomas Aquinas
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
As the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods.
Thomas Aquinas
To pretend angels do not exist because they are invisible is to believe we never sleep because we don't see ourselves sleeping.
Thomas Aquinas
Humility is the mark of a genuine disciple.
Thomas Aquinas
Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.
Thomas Aquinas
To disparage the dictate of reason is equivalent to contemning the command of God.
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
Now, nothing can be brought from potentiality to actual existence except through something actually existing
Thomas Aquinas
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas
How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know.
Thomas Aquinas
We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.
Thomas Aquinas
It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Thomas Aquinas
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
