More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
Thomas Aquinas
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
Thomas Aquinas
It is necessary for the perfection of human society that there should be men who devote their lives to contemplation.
Thomas Aquinas
For just as the first general precepts of the law of nature are self-evident to one in possession of natural reason, and have no need of promulgation, so also that of believing in God is primary and self-evident to one who has faith: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is.
Thomas Aquinas
Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
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
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
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
No man truly has joy unless he lives in love.
Thomas Aquinas
He who is dying of hunger must be fed rather than taught.
Thomas Aquinas
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
The celestial bodies are the cause of all that takes place in the sublunar world.
Thomas Aquinas
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Thomas Aquinas
I cannot go on.... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.
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
The things that we love tell us what we are.
Thomas Aquinas
