Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith does not quench desire, but inflames it.
Thomas Aquinas
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
Thomas Aquinas
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
I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.

The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in His divinity, assumed our nature, so that He, made man, might make men gods.
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
To restore man, who had been laid low by sin, to the heights of divine glory, the Word of the eternal Father, though containing all things within His immensity, willed to become small. This He did not by putting aside His greatness but by taking to Himself our littleness.
Thomas Aquinas
Man is closer to God according to his existence in grace than he is according to his existence in nature.
Thomas Aquinas
As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.
Thomas Aquinas
You change people by delight, by pleasure.
Thomas Aquinas
It is possible to demonstrate God's existence, although not a priori, yet a posteriori from some work of His more surely known to us.
Thomas Aquinas
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of good wine.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Thomas Aquinas
There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.
Thomas Aquinas
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)
Thomas Aquinas
