More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
The Cross to me is certain salvation. The Cross is that which I ever adore. The Cross of the Lord is with me. The Cross is my refuge.
Thomas Aquinas
If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
Thomas Aquinas
Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign... Secondly, a just cause... Thirdly... a rightful intention.
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
But man is freer than all the animals, on account of his free-will, with which he is endowed above all other animals.
Thomas Aquinas
It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.
Thomas Aquinas
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
For just as the first general precepts of the law of nature are self-evident to one in possession of natural reason, and have no need of promulgation, so also that of believing in God is primary and self-evident to one who has faith: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is.
Thomas Aquinas
It [covetousness] is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Thomas Aquinas
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
God is not related to creatures as though belonging to a different genus, but as transcending every genus, and as the principle of all genera.
Thomas Aquinas
There would not be a perfect likeness of God in the universe if all things were of one grade of being.
Thomas Aquinas
The celestial bodies are the cause of all that takes place in the sublunar world.
Thomas Aquinas
What does it take to become a saint? Will it.
Thomas Aquinas
There is within every soul a thirst for happiness and meaning.
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
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
There must be must be a first mover existing above all – and this we call God.
Thomas Aquinas
