More quotes by Thomas Aquinas

Image
Whenever God wakes in us, our thinking becomes clear - nothing is missing.
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
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Beware of the person of one book.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
There is nothing in your mind which wasn't experienced before hand.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The world of pure spirits stretches between the divine nature and the world of human beings because divine wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, angels execute the divine plan for human salvation: they are our guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To disparage the dictate of reason is equivalent to contemning the command of God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The happy man in this life needs friends.
Thomas Aquinas
