The image of God always abides in the soul, whether this image be obsolete and clouded over as to amount to almost nothing or whether it be obscured or disfigured, as is the case with sinners or whether it be clear and beautiful as is the case with the just.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Love follows knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to Him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
What does it take to become a saint? Will it.
Thomas Aquinas

God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
Thomas Aquinas
