Thomas Aquinas

The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of good wine.
Thomas Aquinas
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed.
