Image
He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
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 good wine.
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
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed.
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
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
Image
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It would be superfluous to receive by faith, things that can be known by natural reason
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Faith is God's work within us.
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
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
Image
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas

A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.
Thomas Aquinas
