Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Charity is love not all love is charity.
Thomas Aquinas
If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
No man truly has joy unless he lives in love.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Just as in one man there is one soul and one body, yet many members even so the Catholic Church is one body, having many members.

Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
The perfection of the effect demonstrates the perfection of the cause, for a greater power brings about a more perfect effect. But God is the most perfect agent. Therefore, things created by Him obtain perfection from Him. So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power.
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
The last end of every maker, as such, is himself, for what we make we use for our own sake and if at any time a man make a thing for the sake of something else, it is referred to his own good, whether his use, his pleasure, or his virtue.
Thomas Aquinas
It must be said that charity can, in no way, exist along with mortal sin.
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
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
