More quotes by Thomas Aquinas

Image
Even as in the blessed in heaven there will be most perfect charity, so in the damned there will be the most perfect hate. Wherefore as the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods. Consequently the sight of the happiness of the saints will give them very great pain.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
He who is dying of hunger must be fed rather than taught.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
If someone knows from experience that daily Communion increases fervor without lessening reverence, then let him go every day. But if someone finds that reverence is lessened and devotion not much increased, then let him sometimes abstain, so as to draw near afterwards with better dispositions.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The Blessed Eucharist is the perfect Sacrament of the Lord's Passion, since It contains Christ Himself and his Passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Not everyone who is enlightened by an angel knows that he is enlightened by him.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Faith does not quench desire, but inflames it.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Without doubt one is allowed to resist against the unjust aggressor to one's life, one's goods or one's physical integrity sometimes, even 'til the aggressor's death... In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
When the devil is called the god of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldliness.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Just as a man cannot live in the flesh unless he is born in the flesh, even so a man cannot have the spiritual life of grace unless he is born again spiritually. This regeneration is effected by Baptism: Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn 3:5)

Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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

The happy man in this life needs friends.
