More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
Thomas Aquinas
Now it seems that everything in the world stems from sources other than God, since the products of nature have their source in nature deliberate effects can be traced back to human reason or will as their source. There is no need then to assume that God exists.
Thomas Aquinas
It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing God.
Thomas Aquinas
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
Sin is a spiritual illness thus sinners are in need of salvation.
Thomas Aquinas
Justice is in subjects as well as in rulers.
Thomas Aquinas
To disparage the dictate of reason is equivalent to contemning the command of God.
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
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
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
We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides.
Thomas Aquinas
The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of good wine.
Thomas Aquinas
The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.
Thomas Aquinas
We can open our hearts to God, but only with Divine help.
Thomas Aquinas
We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.
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
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to Him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help.
Thomas Aquinas
It is possible to demonstrate God's existence, although not a priori, yet a posteriori from some work of His more surely known to us.
Thomas Aquinas
