More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Without doubt one is allowed to resist against the unjust aggressor to one's life, one's goods or one's physical integrity sometimes, even 'til the aggressor's death... In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.
Thomas Aquinas
There is nothing in your mind which wasn't experienced before hand.
Thomas Aquinas
For those with faith, no evidence is necessary for those without it, no evidence will suffice.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.
Thomas Aquinas
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
Thomas Aquinas
Without sanctifying grace it is not possible to refrain long from mortal sin.
Thomas Aquinas
We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
