More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
Thomas Aquinas
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
Wonder is the desire of knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine.
Thomas Aquinas
Give, expecting nothing there of.
Thomas Aquinas
Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact Angels have no religion as we know it... Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth.
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
The servants of God...whether provoked by word or work, by keeping themselves tranquil and peaceful, evince a perfect nobleness of soul.
Thomas Aquinas
It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Thomas Aquinas
Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas
Love follows knowledge.
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
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
Thomas Aquinas
All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
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
When the devil is called the god of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldliness.
Thomas Aquinas
There would not be a perfect likeness of God in the universe if all things were of one grade of being.
Thomas Aquinas
It [covetousness] is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Thomas Aquinas
We can open our hearts to God, but only with Divine help.
Thomas Aquinas
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Thomas Aquinas
