More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
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 Angel's bread is made the Bread of man today.
Thomas Aquinas
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
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
Bestow upon me, O Lord my God, understanding to know thee, diligence to seek thee, wisdom to find thee, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace thee.
Thomas Aquinas
The things that we love tell us what we are.
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
As the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods.
Thomas Aquinas
The Cross to me is certain salvation. The Cross is that which I ever adore. The Cross of the Lord is with me. The Cross is my refuge.
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
Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas
God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.
Thomas Aquinas
I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught.
Thomas Aquinas
You change people by delight, by pleasure.
Thomas Aquinas
Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact Angels have no religion as we know it... Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth.
Thomas Aquinas
