More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Wonder is the desire of knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
Thomas Aquinas
We can open our hearts to God, but only with Divine help.
Thomas Aquinas
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
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
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
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
We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.
Thomas Aquinas
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.
Thomas Aquinas
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
Thomas Aquinas
All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas
We ought to cherish the body. Our body's substance is not from an evil principle, as the Manicheans imagine, but from God. And therefore, we ought to cherish the body by the friendship of love, by which we love God.
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
As the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is love not all love is charity.
Thomas Aquinas
It is not possible to be ignorant of the end of things if we know their beginning.
Thomas Aquinas
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
