More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
Beware of the person of one book.
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
By the divine providence [animals] are intended for man's use... Hence it is not wrong for man to make use of them, either by killing or in any other way whatsoever.
Thomas Aquinas
In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Man is closer to God according to his existence in grace than he is according to his existence in nature.
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
He who is dying of hunger must be fed rather than taught.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas

Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
It is necessary for the perfection of human society that there should be men who devote their lives to contemplation.
Thomas Aquinas
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
Just as a man cannot live in the flesh unless he is born in the flesh, even so a man cannot have the spiritual life of grace unless he is born again spiritually. This regeneration is effected by Baptism: Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn 3:5)
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
Concerning perfect blessedness which consists in a vision of God.
Thomas Aquinas
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign... Secondly, a just cause... Thirdly... a rightful intention.
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
The soul, which is the first principle of life, is not a body, but the act of a body just as heat, which is the principle of calefaction, is not a body, but an act of a body.
Thomas Aquinas
