Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
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
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
