More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Peace is the work of justice indirectly, in so far as justice removes the obstacles to peace but it is the work of charity (love) directly, since charity, according to its very notion, causes peace.
Thomas Aquinas
It would be superfluous to receive by faith, things that can be known by natural reason
Thomas Aquinas
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
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 Blessed Eucharist is the perfect Sacrament of the Lord's Passion, since It contains Christ Himself and his Passion.
Thomas Aquinas
We ought to cherish the body. Our body's substance is not from an evil principle, as the Manicheans imagine, but from God. And therefore, we ought to cherish the body by the friendship of love, by which we love God.
Thomas Aquinas
Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution justice without mercy is cruelty.
Thomas Aquinas
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
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
For those with faith, no evidence is necessary for those without it, no evidence will suffice.
Thomas Aquinas
Bestow upon me, O Lord my God, understanding to know thee, diligence to seek thee, wisdom to find thee, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace thee.
Thomas Aquinas
We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.
Thomas Aquinas
Wonder is the desire of knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
I cannot understand how anyone conscious of mortal sin can laugh or be merry.
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
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is the form, mover, mother and root of all the virtues.
Thomas Aquinas
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
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
