More quotes by 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
The soul, which is the first principle of life, is not a body, but the act of a body just as heat, which is the principle of calefaction, is not a body, but an act of a body.
Thomas Aquinas
If, then, you are looking for the way by which you should go, take Christ, because He Himself is the way.
Thomas Aquinas
The meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.
Thomas Aquinas
The Angel's bread is made the Bread of man today.
Thomas Aquinas
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
To pretend angels do not exist because they are invisible is to believe we never sleep because we don't see ourselves sleeping.
Thomas Aquinas
Love works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.
Thomas Aquinas
One will observe that all things are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence, and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are.
Thomas Aquinas
Bestow upon me, O Lord my God, understanding to know thee, diligence to seek thee, wisdom to find thee, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace thee.
Thomas Aquinas
The Bread of angels has become the Bread of mankind This heavenly Bread puts an end to all images O wonderful reality! The poor, the slave, and the humble can eat the Lord.
Thomas Aquinas
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
It is not possible to be ignorant of the end of things if we know their beginning.
Thomas Aquinas
The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness.
Thomas Aquinas
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas
Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.
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
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
