More quotes by Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.

In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
God has no need for our worship. It is we who need to show our gratitude for what we have received.

Whenever God wakes in us, our thinking becomes clear - nothing is missing.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is the form, mover, mother and root of all the virtues.
Thomas Aquinas
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
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
Thomas Aquinas
