More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
The custom of the Church has very great authority and ought to be jealously observed in all things.
Thomas Aquinas
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
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
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
Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact Angels have no religion as we know it... Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth.
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
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
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
If a man deliberately abstains from wine to such an extent that he does serious harm to his nature, he will not be free from blame.
Thomas Aquinas
You change people by delight, by pleasure.
Thomas Aquinas
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
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
The Blessed Eucharist is the perfect Sacrament of the Lord's Passion, since It contains Christ Himself and his Passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Man is closer to God according to his existence in grace than he is according to his existence in nature.
Thomas Aquinas
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
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
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
