More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.
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
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
The Angel's bread is made the Bread of man today.
Thomas Aquinas
To love God is something greater than to know Him.
Thomas Aquinas
The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine.
Thomas Aquinas
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
Thomas Aquinas
Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.
Thomas Aquinas
All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
Thomas Aquinas
The things that we love tell us what we are.
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 is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
The meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.
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
The world of pure spirits stretches between the divine nature and the world of human beings because divine wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, angels execute the divine plan for human salvation: they are our guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home.
Thomas Aquinas
Thus Angels' Bread is made The Bread of man today: The Living Bread from Heaven With figures doth away: O wondrous gift indeed! The poor and lowly may Upon their Lord and Master feed.
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
Give, expecting nothing there of.
Thomas Aquinas
