To the Everlasting Father, And the Son who made us free And the Spirit, God proceeding From them Each eternally, Be salvation, honour, blessing, Might and endless majesty.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.

Image
Concerning perfect blessedness which consists in a vision of God.
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
Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas

He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
He who is dying of hunger must be fed rather than taught.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Natural inclinations are present in things from God, who moves all things. So it is impossible for the natural inclinations of a species to be toward evil in itself. But there is in all perfect animals a natural inclination toward carnal union. Therefore it is impossible for carnal union to be evil in itself.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
But man is freer than all the animals, on account of his free-will, with which he is endowed above all other animals.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
