More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to Him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help.
Thomas Aquinas
The happy man in this life needs friends.
Thomas Aquinas
A person is disposed to an act of choice by an angel ... in two ways. Sometimes, a man's understanding is enlightened by an angel to know what is good, but it is not instructed as to the reason why ... But sometimes he is instructed by angelic illumination, both that this act is good and as to the reason why it is good.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Thomas Aquinas
The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces.
Thomas Aquinas
You change people by delight, by pleasure.
Thomas Aquinas
Obedience unites us so closely to God that it in a way transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His. If obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.
Thomas Aquinas
Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.
Thomas Aquinas
As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.
Thomas Aquinas
It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing God.
Thomas Aquinas
Prostitution in the towns is like the cesspool in the palace take away the cesspool and the palace will become an unclean and evil smelling-place.
Thomas Aquinas
God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is the form, mover, mother and root of all the virtues.
Thomas Aquinas
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
No man truly has joy unless he lives in love.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
To love God is something greater than to know Him.
Thomas Aquinas
All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
Thomas Aquinas
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.
Thomas Aquinas
