More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
God has no need for our worship. It is we who need to show our gratitude for what we have received.
Thomas Aquinas
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.
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
Christ was either liar, lunatic, or Lord!
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
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas

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
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
The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine.
Thomas Aquinas
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
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of good wine.
Thomas Aquinas
Love follows knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
It must be said that charity can, in no way, exist along with mortal sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Natural inclinations are present in things from God, who moves all things. So it is impossible for the natural inclinations of a species to be toward evil in itself. But there is in all perfect animals a natural inclination toward carnal union. Therefore it is impossible for carnal union to be evil in itself.
Thomas Aquinas
God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
Prostitution in the towns is like the cesspool in the palace take away the cesspool and the palace will become an unclean and evil smelling-place.
Thomas Aquinas
