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
God is not related to creatures as though belonging to a different genus, but as transcending every genus, and as the principle of all genera.
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
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
Thomas Aquinas
The happy man in this life needs friends.
Thomas Aquinas
As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.
Thomas Aquinas
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
