More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to Him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help.
Thomas Aquinas
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
Give, expecting nothing there of.
Thomas Aquinas
Every truth without exception- and whoever may utter it- is from the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas
Concerning perfect blessedness which consists in a vision of God.
Thomas Aquinas
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed.
Thomas Aquinas
Whenever God wakes in us, our thinking becomes clear - nothing is missing.
Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
The Cross to me is certain salvation. The Cross is that which I ever adore. The Cross of the Lord is with me. The Cross is my refuge.
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
Secondly, man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals is ordered towards conception. From this it follows that every sexual intercourse that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man's animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
The highest perfection of human life consists in the mind of man being detached from care, for the sake of God.
Thomas Aquinas
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
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
Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.
Thomas Aquinas
Sin is a spiritual illness thus sinners are in need of salvation.
Thomas Aquinas
Love follows knowledge.
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
