More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
No man truly has joy unless he lives in love.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
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

Thomas Aquinas
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.

The existence of a prime mover- nothing can move itself there must be a first mover. The first mover is called God.
Thomas Aquinas
As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.
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
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
Thomas Aquinas
Every truth without exception- and whoever may utter it- is from the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas
I cannot understand how anyone conscious of mortal sin can laugh or be merry.
Thomas Aquinas
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
