Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Now, nothing can be brought from potentiality to actual existence except through something actually existing

Thomas Aquinas
Just as in one man there is one soul and one body, yet many members even so the Catholic Church is one body, having many members. The soul that quickens this body is the Holy Spirit and therefore in the Creed after confessing our belief in the Holy Spirit, we are bid to believe in the Holy Catholic Church.
Thomas Aquinas
The human race was in need of salvation because of the perversity of sin. For when people who are ill are cured from their illness, they are called saved. Therefore, the Lord says: Your faith has saved you.
Thomas Aquinas
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
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
It is not possible to be ignorant of the end of things if we know their beginning.
Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
Thomas Aquinas
I cannot go on.... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.
Thomas Aquinas
