More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
To restore man, who had been laid low by sin, to the heights of divine glory, the Word of the eternal Father, though containing all things within His immensity, willed to become small. This He did not by putting aside His greatness but by taking to Himself our littleness.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below, Our foes press on from every side, Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of good wine.

Faith is God's work within us.
Thomas Aquinas
Happiness is secured through virtue it is a good attained by man's own will.
