More quotes by 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

Thomas Aquinas

By the divine providence [animals] are intended for man's use... Hence it is not wrong for man to make use of them, either by killing or in any other way whatsoever.
Thomas Aquinas
Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.

There would not be a perfect likeness of God in the universe if all things were of one grade of being.
Thomas Aquinas
